[87 dually burb]

one of said truck

old junk loc housing

[cochino12]

[slug]

that thing will look sinister lowered,

[87 dually burb]

thats the plan going to black out the grill and all chrome parts
remove all rain gutters,install roll pans front and rear

all black with shiny rims

I call it "towpig"

[87 dually burb]

first mod I going to tackle is moving drivers window/lock switchs to center console
problem with this I noticed if driver switch for window is unhooked they dont work at the other doors does it work the other way

[chemsearch]

just out of curiosity, how/where are you planning to mount the switches on the console?

[mattcarlson]

you should get some interior pics so we kinda have a idea of waht your working with... and i would have to agree with slug, that would look killer layed out and body droped( or complete custom frame!) best of luck to ya

I'll get a pic friday but in the stock center console there is a 1.5" x 12" cubby
in front of the cup holders place the dr switch centered with the
tail gate and rear fan switch on either side

going to remove all switch from the doors

and dr lock switch in there too I guess

did alittle cleaning but slacking on updates and working on it
love getting wierd looks from people when I drive it around

I had a stumble for a short time, I replaced the throttle position sensor and ignition module... fixed it for me. Also helped to do the usual tune up of plugs, wires, fuel filter. I did have to eventually replace the in tank fuel pump at 165K miles.

[87 dually burb]

I did plugs and wires for now but I will trace it down next week
most my time is spent playing with this
