Bought a CC Dually 454 Whipple

[Supercharged111]

FINALLY found a cab and chassis dually at the pull and pay and got my 3 leaf upper overloads!

Donor got whacked good and hard. The main leaves were destroyed, somehow the upper got missed. Also check out that beast of a swaybar! Puts my Hellwig to shame but the reach looks longer so maybe not.

Gonna drop these off with the powder coated Thursday. I'm so stoked to have found these and to get them so cheap. Also stoked that I nabbed the plastic shroud that goes behind the diesel bumper. Unfortunately the diesel bumper itself was already gone. They had an unusual amount of 8 lug trucks there today.

I didn't know any trucks got rear bars..... well, I guess I haven't been looking at C&C trucks. I wonder if it would adapt easily to SRW?

The diff housing has mounts on the front of the tubes. The frame rails themselves are narrower than your SRW, so another mount that needs fabbed. Not the end of the world though, from a fab perspective it's an easy enough job.

That's odd.... the forged arms use all rubber bushings, as in no steel sleeves.

I can look closer but i dropped arms off at local favorite shop and this is what they do for older/ more HD trucks. Maybe I got semi-scammed? I will take a look at mine this afternoon but it really helped steering and handling. My old ones looked original and were cracked and brittle.

Is that the 12K GVW C&C? I didn't realize anything short of the HD got a narrow frame.

It's 4wd, so guessing it was the 12k but the door sticker was missing so I couldn't confirm. It definitely wasn't an HD.

You chucked those overloads on yet?

No, but I was looking at them yesterday and want to if that counts. I'm thinking I'll keep my main and just add the 2 smaller ones as the mains look different.

If that doesn't count then i wouldn't get anything done! Look forward to the next update.

Decided to do some spring cleaning this weekend and those overloads are just in the way. I decided to try googling for some new leaf spring bushings and found these guys sell them for just a few bucks, WAY cheaper than the overpriced Dorman garbage at the parts stores.

They even have the weird ones I haven't been able to find anywhere. My Husky mud flaps arrived a while back, so looking forward to installing those as well once I pick up my drill charger from the hangar. UCA bushings arrive tomorrow too, so I should have some decent updates here soon.
