The truck was a 2WD Dually 3+3. I swapped a Dana SRW front axle and kept the rear Dana 80 DRW. The wheels are 17X10 with 35's.
I used DIY4X4 B52's and rear Shackle reversal hangers. I found a set of used 6 inch Superlifts 52" leaf springs and mixed and matched leafs front and rear to gain about a total 7" lift. I removed the overload springs that sit over the main pack on the rear.
Since it was a 2WD I didn't have to swap the Steering Box to do a Crossover steering.
The truck is currently running the stock 6.2 Diesel with Turbo 400 trans. I have a P Pumped Cummins 6BT with a NV4500 out of a 1997 Dodge 4x4 but haven't found a 29 spline NP205 Passenger drop to start my swap.
The aluminum bed is one you find on a Home Depot rental truck. I found it for sale locally and had to have it so I scrapped the original steel flatbed for $100 and mounted this one. I remove the gates when the Callen Camper is used. As for the Camper; It is fully enclosed with a steel tubing and plywood floor. The shell is not tall enough for me to stand (I'm 5'8") but I can sit on the benches and have plenty of head room. It has a freshwater tank for an outside shower. I'd like a full size bed and a toilet. A collapsible dinette, some storage bins, a small counter top for a portable burner and food prep when the outside weather is bad.
The project has been slow and the outings even slower but having some fun throwing around ideas and building as time permits.
I have more pics in my Crewcab Album on this site. I'll add more pics as I build and I'm open to your suggestions. Thanks
