If you could find another set of the MD front fenders and graft the flares onto the bedsides it looks like it would be a prefect match for the dually rear wheels. You could use the left front fender flares and running board on the right and the right side on the left. Hope this makes sence.

Cant wait to see more pictures!

The bed didn't fit in the picture

SweeT!

this is essentially what I'd like to do with a first gen blazer I know exactly what you mean LeftCoast

Dino I saw a truck the other day at a repair shop and made me think of you looked like this only a dump bed for grain...

I'm gonna swear it had independent front suspension... if I hadn't been working I'd crawled around and nabbed pics.....

chevy2racr · 06-09-2011, 10:48 PM

I know its a drawing but look I'm not crazy!

**Captainfab** · 06-10-2011, 12:06 AM

You know about a month ago a friend sent me an email asking about balljoints for a medium duty truck with an independent front suspension. I told him I had never seen one, but I suppose it is possible. Now I've seen one.....or a picture anyways. I wonder what years and what kind of production numbers there were.

my 61 gmc 4000 had independent front suspension, it was just a giant version of the little truck.
I am pretty sure all the 60-62 big trucks had indy. (seems like you could still get a straight axle for larger capacity too) In 63 they switched away from the torsion bars because of problems. and narrowed the fender flares to help consumers see that there had been a change.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-10-2011, 08:21 PM

Dino figure out which way your gonna build this thing yet??

66redw/white · 06-10-2011, 08:56 PM

Nice thing about a C50 is moving the axle forward is not complicated at all.
You are doing something I have wanted to do for a very long time.
COOL BUILD.....
I want to go with a diesel power unit like a 6.5 and a NV4500 maybe ???
I personally don't prefer the slammed looked but to each their own.

abebummy26 · 10-02-2011, 09:55 PM

Sweet rig!
