Very nice, I am jealous! I've been wanting a crew ca to do something similar with for awhile now. My problem is I don't have a place to store or work on one at the moment.

The 60 front will be here tomorrow. Picked up a dana 70hd drw last night. Got it all stripped tonight just waiting on cash to rebuild it. Bought 8 dual wheels just need to pick them up soon. Now the fun part is going to be building a nice looking set of dually fenders for the bed.

I love it already. Tell me more about the mounts with a stud. Are they just common Cummins mounts?

Please do not put those dually fenders that look like chevy bedsides on your truck, I hate that look. Always thought it would be cool to figure out how to use the early round step side fenders to make dually fenders. Or figure out a way to keep the dent matching the bed on the fenders, but that would take some skill.

I'm not sure that signature is conducive to your simultaneous sale of an IDI drivetrain...
