well im bout to buy a 84 4x4 c20 and theres a good dulley bed and axle down at the local junk yard and i was wondering what it would look like (let me get some pics). i was thinkin bout puting the 1 ton springs under it and like a 73-80 cab on it and was kinda wondering how hard all that would be to accomplish

i want it like this but four wheel drive

It will look like that blue and white one but taller....

I had a 79 that was blue and grey, wasn't a bad looking truck. Wife thought it was uglier than sin, but it started and took her to work when it was well below zero, when her Jeep blew a radiator...

By just adding the dually rear axle, the front axle/wheels wouldnt match. I refer to this as the cement truck look, as the cement trucks around here have wide front tires on regular wheels and narrow dually rear tires. I don't have a problem with this and even thought about doing to this a truck. Only draw back would be if you carried spare tires... you would need 2 different ones.
