1984 CCSB Project: WHITEOUT

[Mattman2010]

Here is my project, Project Whiteout.



A little back ground information, I bought an 85 CCLB dually and converted it to 4x4 and replaced the cab from an 84. I am almost ready to get the truck on the road, but I have came to the conclusion that a CCLB dually is not going to be very DD friendly for me (If you want to read the build so far you can find it HERE). So I am wanting to make a truck that I can drive everyday. This is where the short bed comes into play. I bought an 84 crew cab to replace the cab on the 85, and so I have an extra frame that I am going to cut down and make a short bed while I enjoy driving the truck as a LB dually for now. Then once the frame is done I will swap the body over to the short bed frame.

Now for the project
-Drive train

• Motor - 6.2 Diesel
• Transmission - Sm465
• Transfercase - NP205
• Front Axle - Dana 44 4.10 Gears
• Rear Axle - 14 Bolt 4.10 Gears

I plan on running a 4 inch lift kit and run some 16.5 inch wagon wheels with some 37 inch hummer tires.

I am hoping to start working on this frame within the next month, as my truck should be on the road before to long and then I will just need to clean up the shop and I can start working on it.
