Started with the rear suspension first, doing a 12" lift all the way around. Also after over a month searching everywhere for a dually bed I finally was able to find one at a dealership that was a brand new take off.

Well its a start for now. As soon as I can find a company that will make the front springs she will be drivable, nobody wants to make the springs now :yuk: . I will take the bed off next week and get that all painted then start shaving everything and have the truck repainted. I have started on making a new 180gal. gas tank so that the ones under the doors can be removed as well as the steps. Once everything is clear under the doors I will be making some steps simular to the Kodiaks but they will have two steps since I do not think that one is going to cut it.
The front differential should be here next month and as soon I a find a transfercase for the Allison I will be doing the 4x4 conversion. I will try to update as it is coming along if anyone is interested.

:rollside:But time to change that as everyone has gone orange now :cry: :cry:
I wish the front of the cheby looked better cause it would be so much less work-avail. with bed and 4x4 on the chevy.

That one looks great, I have seen that a few. I was originally going to do a 6 door with the excursion back end but decided that I needed the bed more. Then once I order the truck the plan was to make it 6 door, but once the truck was delivered I was told the frame was to short to do the conversion.
What motor and trans is in there.
Thanks KELLY
