1978 CC Dually I picked up the other day - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1985-GMC · 02-01-2012, 10:38 PM

Here it is. It has a factory tach, I found the build sheet still under the seat, the engine has never been touched, the speedometer it right on, it hasn't been inspected since 97 so it might just have 74k original miles, and i think the exhaust might even be original lol. Oh I think it used to have one of those Am/Fm CB radios, because the box is still behind the seat which would have been under the front seat and attached to the radio. I think that's one of the dealer brush guards on the front too. Its kind of ugly now but it will get a lot better, and a K30 frame...

1985-GMC · 02-01-2012, 10:44 PM

And the owners manual, warranty papers and some other stuff were in the glove box.

cochino12 · 02-01-2012, 10:45 PM

Nice truck, what are your plans for it?

1985-GMC · 02-01-2012, 10:49 PM

New clutch push rod, I think it says 1983 on the sticker.

Mattman2010 · 02-01-2012, 10:50 PM

That is a nice truck man. Will look even better 4x4!

I plan on fixing it up a little to make it drivable and just drive it while im finishing up my GMC then I will eventually make it 4x4 with a P-pumped 24V cummins, NV4500, Np205, boxed frame, 81-87 front clip, and paint it Blue & White to match my GMC.

Thanks dude!

Your41Plague12 · 02-02-2012, 12:45 AM

PLEASE keep the 70's front clip on it. There aren't too many round-eye crew cabs around anymore, let alone one with a Cummins on a 4x4 frame. I think the early front ends look so much meaner than the 80's style. Either way, nice rig. It's cool to see one that's completely stock, there aren't many around anymore.

craazy22 · 02-02-2012, 01:11 AM

I totally agree with the front end... And originality.. ^^^

1985-GMC · 02-02-2012, 11:45 AM

I know, I really really like the round eye front end too but I also want to have CC dually version of my GMC. I still have plenty of time to change my mind so we will just have to see...

motornut · 02-02-2012, 12:04 PM

nice score,and i'm for round eyes....and 4X4

Ive decided im keeping the 78 front end when I do everything else to it, but its still going to be blue and white. Here's what it looks like now, I have a nice pipe bumper on the back of it too but I forgot to get a picture. Im going to get a straight front bumper on it eventually and get rid of that grille guard.

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 12:32 AM

Im ready to see some updates! Looks clean.

1985-GMC · 04-23-2012, 12:40 AM

That was my update^ there's not much I can do to it in 17 minutes.

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 12:46 AM

Lol I meant more updates, to see what else you got goin on with it buddy.

17 minutes is plenty of time for me to mess somethin up

1985-GMC · 04-23-2012, 12:57 AM

Haha well I haven't done too much more to it that I can think of. I do have another 800cfm Qjet im rebuilding for it and im going to make a carb spacer out of some mahogany I have. Im going to get the A/C system all working pretty soon too, I also need to fix the hole in the seat.

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 01:11 AM

You will get better horsepower gains if you use pine

be sure to post pics when you do, sounds interesting.

your lucky to buy that truck with all the trim on it, those silverado 30 emblems are going for a hundred a pair on ebay!

Mattman2010 · 04-23-2012, 09:02 AM

Trucks looking good bud. Will look even better 4x4 and with a cummins in it. But maybe I'm partial to those haha.

1985-GMC · 04-23-2012, 09:44 AM

Ill make sure to get pictures.

Most of the trim pieces are there but not that great, I'll probably end up buying all new ones after it gets painted. I have a better set of silverado badges I need to strip and repaint for it.

Yeah I cant wait for it to be 4x4 with the cummins!

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 09:50 AM

You goin with a 12 valve or 24? P pump or ve? What trans? Please say 6 speed!
Posted via Mobile Device

1985-GMC · 04-23-2012, 09:59 AM

The plan is for a P-pumped 24V cummins, and NV4500. The 5 speed has more available parts then the 6 and its smaller, lighter, cheaper and can be plenty strong with a upgraded input shaft. I was planning on using a divorced Np205 for the T-case but I may end up looking for a atlas instead.

grayharville · 04-23-2012, 10:05 AM

The np241 hd will work, its a great case.
