Yup, a bricknose truck with an aero front clip and full-width stepside bed, with a 4x4 dually driveline under it all - the only way it would be better is if it was turbocharged. A tailgate would also be nice, lol

Color is burnt orange by the way, typical Chevy color and also the color my old stepside was painted in.

I'm kinda wanting more of a copper color but I like it. I thought I was over my dually fascination since I got my stepside bed but now I am seeing things different....that would look pretty good on my truck. I can't afford the other 2 tires though.

Yeah, tell me about it man, over $700 just for the rear axle on my truck. The burnt orange color actually has some copper to it, and not a whole lot of orange, least that's how mine was, especially in the sunlight. Also notice how his bed is different from yours in the areas where the steps are, his is done heavy-duty like a '70s Chevy with the all-metal fenders, whereas yours has them goofy fiberglass steps that only look right if your cab has the matching running boards - don't think you can go dually with your bed (cut across the middle and widen it) and keep them steps and still make it all look right... Also I bed his truck is a cab-chassis, so his axle won't really fit under your truck, and if you use a regular dually axle with his bed your outer tires will stick out the fenders some.

I have the steps to match mine from a regular cab I am going to try possibly extending them out whenever I do the body stuff down the road to make it look factory. I figured it was probably a chassis dually axle to be narrow enough. I thought the bed was just a stepside bed from the 80's.

I figured you probably had something lined up for them cab steps, personally I would probably attempt installing two reg-cab sets of them because your truck is a 4-door.

The bed is not an exactly an '80s bed, at least not a stock factory one - they have rounded (rolled) outer edges on the top rails, this thing has them squared off. Altho if I were to build a bed like that that is exactly what I would use, an '80s stepper bed cut in the middle and widened as needed, then replace the fiberglass fenders with those from a '92-'96 stepper so the fender opening shape matches the front clip.

That is nice, but it does look a bit odd being so short. Regardless, I would still drive the heck out of it.

Yup....FINALLY a truck that's close to home....I live like 3 hours from it....I wish I had $6K to go get it. I wonder how my truck would look as a regular cab short box dually 5 speed turbo.....the rear driveshaft would be as long as a pencil.

Thats pretty close to the color of my truck. Mine is prowler flame orange. Burnt orange didn't have enough flake for me. I like to see some sparkle in the sunshine. Now if I can ever keep it clean. :D
