First-time dually owner
I just purchased a 1988 GMC extended cab 1T dually and racecar trailer to haul the LSR racetruck I'm building. Hadn't planned on buying a tow rig at this point but the deal was way too good to pass up.
Years ago I had a BBC Chevy 3/4T Suburban that I used to tow a drag-racing doorslammer, but figure I'll have some questions about my first dually. It has a very different "feel" from the old Suburban and will take some getting used to. TIA for answers to questions yet to come. Mike |

Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. I need to step up to a larger truck myself but just don't need it all the time.
