and it apperas that the "bad" weather team has a 3/4 ton or 1ton 89-91 suburban! thing is that its a dually... was this a factory thing? or something created for the movie...

i was gonna put this in the lounge buuut i guess its considered tech...mods feel free to move it if need be.

As soon as I saw the title I knew where this was going... Do a search...

factory or not I've actually seen a few in person but they are very few and far between. Looks cool but weird since they ain't commonplace

 

[broncoman6524]

I saw it and was like...wtf! haha

yeah i searched after posting this...just wanted to start a conversation...my bad. i prolly shoulda posted in the lounge

Burbs were never duallies from the factory, but it is not unpopular to do aftermarket.

Funnylooking, IMHO, but it's done.

i had the perfect chance to make my Blazer a dually. guy had the one ton rearend but instead of it sticking out it was all tucked up underneath. thought it'd have been way cool but kinda weird and useless at the same time. guess i shoulda bought it to just do the truck like that

my buddy has a whole kit for one sitting at his house....to bad he sold the burb...

That's a 14BFF from a cab-and-chassis, aka C&C. You can do pretty close to the same with an SRW 14b, either by moving the brake flange for drums or doing a weldon disc conversion. How do I know?

i love that. dang i wish i'd have bought it when i had the chance now. i thought it looked so cool but would look even better lifted with slightly bigger tires

Aww, it's fun

Seriously, though, you too can do it to your 14b ... tub the wheel wells and figger out the brakes, and voila, instant dually.
