Project Flatbed Dually Underway

[Farmboy]

Picture of the bars that needed cut off to make the same width as the truck frame. Those were the worst part of this whole project.


Cut lines marked:


And then cut:

And it is in 3 pieces.

I'm digging that big screw jack in your last pic, those things are about the handiest jackstand ever.

[Farmboy]

especially when you need to get all the way to the frame.. That's what i used when I took the axle out..

Got most of the welding done on the bed over the weekend. Just have a few more welds to do. The tig welder I borrowed is just a little small to weld the 1/2" bars. But the bed is together enough that I can throw it on a trailer and take it to another buddy's shop that has a big tig welder.

Looking nice.

Got the front hubs installed, all 6 wheels put on, and got the bed loaded up to take down the road to get the rest of the welding done on it. Gives a nice little idea what the truck is going to look like.

Looks good!

E350 wheels? I always wanted to try them. I freaking love the look of a reg cab W350. I want one with a pickup bed myself. Looking good!!

[dazedandconfused]

Looks good! What tires are those?

[ellis93]

I surely am jealous! I want to dual my ol dodge pretty bad....something is always keeping me from it tho.

[Tacoclaw]

I like those wheels.

[Farmboy]

Thanks guys. I got the wheels dirt cheap on Craigslist a while back. Andy, the tires are Goodyear wrangler authority's. Walmart special. They preform really well. Just don't like giving Walmart that much of my business. Lol

[dazedandconfused]

I may have to buy me some of those for the Ford

How long have you had the tires? Been looking at those exact tires but have seen mixed reviews
