AMT 1984 GMC single cab dually

[Nick Winter]

I started a new build it's a dually using AMT's infamous 84 GMC, anyway to keep it short and sweet here goes Scraped the small block 350 for a big block 454, Scratch build a suspension for it, converted it to 2wd, Used some parts from the ol' junkyard and some from the kit aswell as some tubing and made me exuast. Enjoy.

Forgot to mention I build alot of trailers so that's why I needed a dually. For the bed I'll be grafting stepside fenders onto the fleet side box.

They meant your original posted photos disappeared. Maybe you moved them on Photobucket?

[dencon]

Yep Would have loved to see your model but NO PICS!?!?!?

[S10XtremeSR]

Nick, I hope you don't mind but I went to your photobucket album to see the model and figured I would give posting your pics a try so everyone can see it. Sorry if they're not the ones you wanted to post or if they're out of order. I'm posting them as they are ordered in the album.

Let's see if these work...

Looks like it's a good start! I'll be checking back in to see the progress.

Ok I moved them and forgot.

Pics are gone. Hard to comment on something you can't see. Are you making it a long bed?

I would need a second bed to do a long bed.

It's sort of a universal trailer hauler. I'll get some pictures of some of my trailers.

[Nick Winter]

#1 utility trailer with real wood floor.

[Nick Winter]

In the next couple months i have 3 or 4 more trailers planed.

[Nick Winter]

I'm having problems with getting the paint off but after I do I'll start the sergary.

[Nick Winter]

Ok guys my computer was givin' me problems lately so No pictures were posted but now it's working fine so time to give some more details and pic's, Ok well I've stripped it and grafted and shortened two stepside fenders on to the fleetside bed, alot of bondo and paint and sanding and priming, and wala instant dually bed, well after some Cb parts were added to it from Torinobradley (thanks again Andrew). I was over at my local LHS and seen a set of display case trailers so I bought two of them and built one for this truck. I built it using just the base and left out the clear part. I have had a AMT 74' GTX on my shelf for a while and it looks great on top the trailer. I tore the body off the chassis to build a receiver hitch.
