I've been kicking around an idea of a SC 4x4 dually like this










Well..........maybe a little more of a classic look, not over the top

That white one is perfect!!!!!

It would be more for function, camper on the back and my trailer with the trail rig behind, I just want to look good while doing it.

A western hauler bed would be nice on your SC with the DRW.

yeah that one would work, just run the jeep up on the truck and then we could use our camp trailer, I think the wife would prefer that route

I thought I would post up some of my progress on the new SC.

Here is the vin off the registration I found under the seat X14SKBG0978, this was good news considering we thought this truck might have been cobbled together, but the frame looks to be a factory SC 4x412-18-13 022.jpg but it looks like the driver door was replaced from a f35012-18-13 022.jpg

I have also sold the 5 lug HP 44 and picking up an 8 lug HP 44 this Saturday. Also I will be buying a replacement cab from one of our FTE members here in Washington, I'll post pics when I pick it up. Some bad news is when I climbed under my parts truck to remove what I assumed to be a Dana 60, turned out to be a Dana 61 with 3.07 gears, looks like I will be on the hunt for a 60 unless I decide to drop in the extra 14 bolt that sitting in the shop

Here's some random interior shots, it's in fairly good condition and has a tilt wheel, and I grabbed a steering box from a 78 f250 4X4 that will go in my Highboy project when my passenger side knuckle gets back from the machine shop.

We picked up our new HP 44 (8 lug) this morning and the old timer took a liking to my little helper and gave him a set of nice aluminum wheels for Christmas that he had laying around

Now that you've got that shiny set of 37's, I know a guy who could use some 16 inch wheels...
