The "FODGE" daily driver/tow rig build
So here is a brief history of what i got going on here. I bought a wrecked 2001 Dodge 3500 dually truck with 72k on the ticker back in 04. It was pretty straight but had a bent frame. I had the frame straightened to within about a half inch. good enough. Drove it for a couple years until the unit bearings went out, then put a 78 HP Dana 60 under the front with 6" (92-97) ford front leaf springs, with a mixed rear pack plus airbags. Drove it for a couple more years, had a kid and now need a crew-cab. So I figured I'd never get out of my truck what is was worth to me, and cant afford a 03-07 Dodge, so my next best choice for the best crew-cabs is a 73-79 Ford. And just for the record I dont have TV so I knew nothing about the build "superdually" on the TV show "Trucks", my buddy told me about it after I started getting parts. But the show is a great resource for build info
