All that to build a truck to haul the kids around in? They're having a blast I think. Cool build.

Yeah man. I have 4 kids and a wife and the crew is big enough since it seats 6. I put 03 leather chevy seats in it and that made it even better but there is a speaker box behind the back seat that has 2 15" speakers. It would be nice to have more storage. I personally want to build a 6 door but the wife thinks it would be too big. Then one day last week at a local junk yard there was a rust free extended cab from north Carolina and it even had the dark grey interior. It called my name. It'll be a few weeks before I get started on it. I'm getting ready to be working a lot of hours in November and December but after that...chop chop

Here's the 2wd dually that the tranny caught fire. I converted to 4x4 then sold it to a buddy. HI Craig. He pulled the idi and swapped in a cummins too. Real men ride pink bikes

38 gallon tank. I only run 1 tank now because with the fuel upgrades I couldn't run a selector valve that would flow enough and I was tired of using a transfer pump to fill the rear. OH and the milage is now up to a wapping 12. Bonus.
