Bad day for the '92

[93f250idi]

I like a dually myself if it's 4x4. In a 2wd a dually will get stuck in water puddle on black top.

 

[pennsylvaniabo]

yeh it would be a lifted 4x4 dually essentially. i would run 265's all around till they wore out then prolly 255's

 

[pennsylvaniabo]

to sorta put it in perspective.....i can get a clean srw bed for $1k.....repaint whole truck


or get complete dually for $1500 and then swap bed, axle, tires, wheels, hubs, and repaint whole truck......and sell or scrap the rest?

How much towing do you do?

 

[pennsylvaniabo]

i tow 2-3 times a month. when i do tow it's usually 15k+. It's mainly used to tow, and sits during the week then gets driven on the weekends

 

[93f250idi]

Then I would deffinitly go the dually route

The dually is great for towing but not necessary. And depending where you go, a dually gets charged tolls like big trucks

lmao.
just about.
see where my trucks parked in the avatar on the left.
with snow on the ground locked in 4wd she wont back up(im talking already plowed.)i have to drive forward down across the lawn to the side street.
in her defense,there's no weight in the bed yet though lol.
i never thought of lifting the bed,that could come in handy at times.
(first winter with my truck.)

be glad the cops didnt come they always come around here and dont wanna deal with it and say no fault
but id go dually wish that would happen to me i had some old head go around a corner too fast and crack my front end as his rear slid
it was no fault
cost me 250 to get the new front clip or 200 for a hood and grill for the bricknose bodystyle
but i want a dully swap so bad right now

Not sure about the PA turnpike.
The Delaware Bridge Commision(bridges between NJ and PA) charges .75 for a car, pick-up, even a dually pick up. And they charge 1.50 for a car(see above) towing a trailer. They charge 2.50 PER AXLE for ANY TRUCK with out a pick-up bed(f150 w a flat bed, daully w dump body,utility body,flat bed)

Nice looking rig by the pics but... Another year and it will be burreid in the weeds.... So sad to see a rig like that just rusting away....

 

[pennsylvaniabo]

yeh, if its a 4.10 truck i will prolly go the dually route. right now my time is limited so unless i get a killer deal i will just buy a bed and stay SRW lol

 

[Diesel_brad]
