Hi Guys, Im new so be gentle... This is a project I have been working on for a few months. Long story short... I broke my front axel, I decited to go for stronger... things let from one thing to another...
Upgrades:
1996 Front 3500 Dually Dana 60 - $300 craigslist
1999 Front 3500 HD Steering setup $50 Junkyard
Skyjacker Front 3500 Springs - $200 amazon
(not counted in cost old front axle would have need the same rebuild)
New Ball joints-bushings-track bar - links - ect
1992 Rear Dodge 3500 DRW Dana 80 (Dump Truck) - Doner
Added Rear Leaf Springs from the 92 - Doner
Firestone 5K Bags amazon - previous truck
Eagle alloy 19.5 rims / tires - Ebay $1200
Not installed yet.
5.7 Turbo 12V - Doner
2001 Fiberglass bedside fiberglass fenders $150 Craigslist
Bushwhaker Rivet Front Flairs $100 EBAY
Halo Headlights - previous truck
Verticle Grill- previous truck
Anyway, Please dont ask why would you do that! I did it because I got a 92 Dodge 5.7 12v drw 2x4 dumptruck for $400. It was cut up and the cab wiring had a fire... My front axle had broken, so I went for it...
Anyways, anyone have paint ideas, general feedback?
The new tires dry fit for overall idea.
I had to cut and rework the fender to allow them to fit on the shortbed.
Notice they take the entire length of the bed, I molded the rear tail lights
into the fender.
Before much body work was done
Relax those are NOT the tires... This was a mockup before I did the rear end.
