98 GMC Crew Cab Dually

[618 Syndicate]

So finally got some **** done on the truck, been gathering parts over the past couple of years as I had spare cash and found deals.
I bought the truck already bagged from the original owner with just over 105k on it. It has a bag on bar setup with way more lift than I wanted, and a monster notch, so those both gotta go. Keeping the 2 link for now, but that may change down the road.
Got the notch cut down and the bridge put together for a bag over axle setup.
Also got the Denali clip painted, rattle can white. It'll get a real paint job next winter, this is just to get it all the same color. Still have an extra pair of dually fenders to glass in and paint.
The interior will get some attention next winter as well, it's all stock gray cloth interior with power windows and locks. Only added stuff is a bluetooth head unit, amp, and a pair of 12s behind the back seat.
I'll update the thread as we go. My brother in law is doing the welding, I'm learning but still not very good. He's got a crew cab short bed square and we will be hitting some shows and cruises this summer.

What's the bed floor gonna look like?

 

[618 Syndicate]

I've got a complete other bed floor cut out already, prolly gonna build a small (4 inches or so tall) removable "hump" over the bridge and then spray in bed liner over the whole thing.

Clean. I was thinking you'd need a hump of some sort for travel given where it sits in the pics.

It's aired out in the pictures, frame is sitting on the ground. Top of the pumpkin and the bridge bars are about 4" above the existing bed floor. Plan is to make it as small as possible

Here's the amount of lift it had with bags on the bars ahead of the axle.
Top of the tailgate was almost 5 feet in the air.

Got shocks mounted yesterday and drove about 50 miles round trip on a shakedown run. Performed well.

Not much done today, I took a shift on the wrecker so the owner could get the day off. After that we spent a little time wet sanding and cutting the hood. Plan is to get the clip swapped this week.
