[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8582751, member: 661255"] Well, I haven't got a lot done, but figured I'd start the build log for it. I've been wanting to build a dually rat rod truck for a while, and I've finally got the chance to do it. I bought a 1994 Chevy 3500 dually for $650. It runs and drives, but the radiator is cracked. My cousin's husband drove it home for me. [IMG]https://image.ibb.co/g9JDh5/image1_7.jpg[/IMG] I wanted to make it single cab, not extended cab. My uncle Dave who built my 2007 Silverado had a 97 Silverado cab from a wrecked truck. I traded him some Silverado parts for the cab and a 350 out of an 86 Impala. Since this picture, I've swapped the red doors out for black ones. [IMG]https://image.ibb.co/bUDeN5/image1_5.jpg[/IMG] Just started harvesting from the donor vehicle today and I'm keeping my snap chat story updated with progress.
