Lowered 79 SC Dually - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-22-2021, 06:59 AM

Nothing really to see here, just a new daily beater

I asked the seller "Just how big is the "Cujo"
that took a bite out of that rear fender"

He said previous owner (Farmer)
had a real mean Hay Trailer

**Palf70Step** · 02-22-2021, 09:01 AM

Nice. So break out the camera and lets see more of the ole girl.

**lolife99** · 02-22-2021, 01:05 PM

Love all the standard cab duallys.

Nick_R_23 · 02-22-2021, 03:47 PM

Nice score! +1 to more pictures too

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-23-2021, 06:33 AM

I'll get more this weekend, she's not a beauty queen,
has rust, dents, etc... Sweet looking rig from say 50'

(Yup, that's 5X the normal 10' paint job most say)

*Running boards gotta go, I can't even rack her.

(Removing the toolbox, bent rear bumper, and hitch)

**Hart_Rod** · 02-23-2021, 12:11 PM

Nice! I've been looking for one, but hard to find in good shape at a decent price....

This is probably neither.

I have missed out on so many I
lost count. Probably overpaid a little, but all the suspension
and the tires are only 6 months old. So some of it done.

amberkalvin · 02-25-2021, 06:18 PM

Any idea what the suspension setup is?

Yes, sorry had to contact the guy that did work

(Previous owner had no clue, he just paid for it)

Front is 3” Street Edge (Belltech) drop spindles.
Cut 1 1/2 coils off springs. Should be total of 6”

Rear is Tinworks’s kit. C-notch and then flip kit.
Should be 8” probably more like around 9-10"

*It actually sits level, Square wheel openings
throw off your eye making the rear look lower.

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-28-2021, 10:42 AM

Updated pic's with a few personal touches made.

*Running boards and toolbox now gone, tire fixed,
pass mirror fixed, glass cleaned, waiting on some
LED bulbs for all the markers and the Dash lights.

Next moving under the hood and fix a few issues.

Nick_R_23 · 02-28-2021, 07:00 PM

Out of curiosity, were you provided any specs or info on how the drop was achieved?

Looking much better already!

Yes, 2 replies above yours I detailed how it was lowered.

Thanks, have a new (used) set of hips coming for it, the
pass rear was attacked by Hay trailer. It's destroyed

LT7A · 03-03-2021, 05:33 AM

Sounds like you think it looks a little rough, but I guarantee you, it's already pretty cool looking.

I will say, it appears that you already have a "decent" black dually...

LOL, Yeah I wanted something kinda rough for those
inconsiderates at Walmart, Lowe's, etc....... This was
just a hair rougher than expected. (2.5 hours ea way
and left out a few picture angles) However, I am real
happy with it, just need to fix a few minor things and
start driving the wheels off of her. (Bought it to daily)

Only had "Kodiak" in the background since Halloween,
been wanting one forever. (2007, Dirtymax, Allison, it
had just a hair under 40,000 miles when I picked up)
I drive it to work on Friday's, or on weekends. She is
a big girl for sure, but handles very well. I just don't
drive it daily due to MPG, + parts becoming obsolete.

Pretty sad that a 18 year old vehicle is more obsolete than a 40+ year old vehicle. This is why I love squarebodies! Thanks for the suspension info!

Yes it is, the Duramax/Allison stuff is NOT an issue,
it's the Kodiak specific parts that are a nightmare.

Your most welcome

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-03-2021, 04:00 AM

Love doing brake work. (Said no one ever that wasn't paid)

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-25-2021, 06:30 AM

Exhausted

Nice, although the cows might be bothered by the sound.

Ziegelsteinfaust · 07-25-2021, 11:55 AM

I love these trucks, but the wide hips scare me for around town.

It looks like you got a very nice truck.

Any future plans for the truck?

Not really, just a cool Farm/Shop truck. Not nice enough to restore.

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-19-2022, 09:58 PM

SOLD

sambrutay · 04-20-2022, 08:11 AM

About time someone bought it. Fairly priced.

LT7A · 04-25-2022, 01:23 PM

Oh no. Thought you were just getting started.
