Randal's GMT400 "Phantom Dually" Build

[White Lightning 2222]

This is a Father and Son Project called "The Green Dickle" GMT400 Phantom Dually.

It's a 1994 Chevy 1500 Series Extended Cab Short Wheel Base GMT400 Truck.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with your eye sight, This truck is Florescent Green.

We will be installing a conversion kit to make this truck a true "Phantom Dually"

This is what they called a "Phantom Dually" back in the 90's.

A Static dropped (no Air Ride or Hydraulics) 1500 Series GMT400 with 3500 Series GMT400 Fat Rear Fenders & monster "Pro Street" style Rear Wheels and Tires.

Please Note: Random pics found on GOOGLE.

This truck has a long wheel base bed where as my truck will be a Short Wheel Base bed and actual Dually Wheels and Tires from a 3500 Series GMT400 Truck.

Most I remember seeing were short wheel base trucks like mine. Should look Really Nice.

First step is to Static Drop it !!!

No need to buy another lowering kit, we are going to use the old Static 4/6 DJM drop kit from my old "White Lightning" Silverado.

Damn I miss this truck !!!

Something like this is what I would like for an "End Result" In my Dreams ... LOL

Again, Random pic found on GOOGLE search.

But hey, it's possible. If I ever hit the lottery.

Got the bed off so we can mount up the old 6" DJM Flip Kit. This truck already has 2" lowering shackles.

Don't have time to clean the frame for the notch at this time. What can I say, It's Easter Weekend.

We do not drive this truck so it will be OK to sit on the snubbers temporarily. Not sure if we're going to stay with the simple 6" drop or prepare for a monster notch ???

Got these Goodies thanks to Mike at Hyper Lights !!!

Dually Conversion Kit !!!

1500 Series 5 lug to a 3500 Series 8 lug GMT400 Conversion Kit.

Details when I get them.

[White Lightning 2222]

Not sure those 2" shackles will be able to stay. Most likely will be replaced with stock shackles.

DAMN, THOSE HUB KITS LOOK AWESOME !!! Too bad I can't permanently mount them at this time. ALOT of work to do !!!  

[White Lightning 2222]

We will get to work on the front suspension ASAP.

Just set the stock wheels and bed back on until we can get back to work on the notch (after the front suspension is dropped). For now, Her ASS is closer to the ground 4 sure !!!

[White Lightning 2222]

Ok. Finally working on the front suspension drop !!!

DJM 2" lowered springs and 2" drop spindles for a total 4" drop.

In true fashion with these old trucks, cutting of the lower control arms is required. way it goes I guess, My son is doing most of the work ... LOL

[White Lightning 2222]

Phase one is done. Static 4/6" drop complete. Just needs some frame notch work now.

I know, that shitty bumper has got to go !!! No worries, Steel Roll Pan is on the way guys !!!

Next step, Dually Fenders !!!
