JamesW Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Then your option is the snapfast Dodge Dually. About the only place to find it is Ebay. Otherwise there's the snapfast Chevy X cab Dooley, or the Ford F-350 X cab Dually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 thanks you happen to know the year of the dodge ? (makes ebay searching easier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesW Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) thanks you happen to know the year of the dodge ? (makes ebay searching easier) I've hardly ever seen the year in the listing, I just search for "Ram Dually". As a matter of fact, here ya go, and the price is right. http://cgi.ebay.com/1996-Dodge-Ram-Dually-1995-New-Old-Stock-/320547096776?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa21888c8 There's more, but the prices seem just a LITTLE ridiculous at $30+.

highway Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The Dodge is a nice kit for a snapper, too. I have two and would like more, since the two I have are converted for the Open Road camper and Racers Wedge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If you'd like, I have a Ram Dually that's already built that I'd be willing to sell you (or possibly trade if you have anything I'd be interested in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be really interested in watching that build as I like motorhomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be really interested in watching that build as I like motorhomes Actually, Cody, the way you see both trucks are what I plan on doing, as well as a Mopar (probably a 70 Coronet Super Bee P/S) on the wedge. I'm sorta thinking along the lines of a homegrown drag team. It's just some rough ideas and shevled at the moment, but when I do start the project, I'll have it posted!

Jordan White Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 thanks for the offer but i have some plans for this build that would be easier to accomplish on a fresh kit (mainly th modifications to get the bike on) Well it is a snap-kit, so it shouldn't be tough to disassemble compared to a glue kit. But if you'd still rather start fresh, then that's fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gray07 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think lindberg had a nissan & toyota but i think they were 1/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I think lindberg had a nissan & toyota but i think they were 1/20 You're right, Lindberg made phantom duallies from both their Toyota and Nissan 1/20 scale pickup kits. I had the Nissan until I traded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lindberg had a nissan & toyota but i think they were 1/20 but the bike is 1/24 so it wouldnt look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 that is true, i completly forgot what are you looking for ? There's nothing in particular that I'm looking for, though I'd prefer trucks or muscle cars. What do you have to offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you have to offer? mhhh nothing too interesting i have a half build bel aire other then that i dont think i have anything to trade what were you thinking money wise ? oh, could you measure the bed for me ? the bike is 4 inches long and i want to know for sure it fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 If you have it sitting corner to corner it'll fit, from front to back its just under 4 inches, ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 mhhh nothing too interesting i have a half build bel aire other then that i dont think i have anything to trade what were you thinking money wise ? Haha well I was thinking maybe 10 bucks plus shipping, course I have to get a box together and figure out the shipping. If you want, you can PM me to hammer out the details. As far as the motorcycle fitting, you could always fab up one of those tubular bed extenders for when the tailgate is down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want, you can PM me to hammer out the details. As far as the motorcycle fitting, you could always fab up one of those tubular bed extenders for when the tailgate is down! let me run the deal by the wifey, i think once shipping is added this would be about the same price as a brand new kit would be and she might not approve as for the tailgate, i was planning on hinging it sideways and having a ramp that slides out from underneath it like you see on a trailer i want this to look as profesional as possible in case your wondering, this is the progress on the bike im very impressed with the casted detail on this kit i think i have only once before had a kit with valvestems and then there are brake lines, revell doesnt even have that on thier 1/12 bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Once I see what shipping is, I'll probably adjust the price accordingly so it isn't so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diymirage Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 got the truck in today and imediatly started working on it (of course) the plan for this truck is to make it a race bike hauler so it will be a work truck but more along the lines of the truck in this comercial im not sure if i am planning on cutting the hood open (its a curbside kit) and installing an actual engine or not yet what i have done so far is take the front suspension and lower it about 3 scale inchers i also took off the rear dual tires now i know you might be wondering why i wanted a dually so bad and then the first thing i do is convert it into a single wheel truck...well....its pretty simple i can iether fit two BF goodrich radial long trail TA tires on the rear hub or one mickey thompson sportsman tire this is my progress so far future plans for the truck include a custom hinged tailgate that swings to the side a ramp that slides under the bed so the bike can drive up onto the bed a tool box that spans the driver side of the bed and custom paint/decals to somewhat match the bike im thinking of getting some custom rims and painting them the same bright yellow as the bikes rims but im not sure if i like that idea or not (input needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent G Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I would love to see the finished combo. One thing though, he had the bikes swingarm upside down. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
