Default If you don't like phantoms, too bad. A real dually too.

This truck has been at the end of my alley since I moved in and ran into the guy a wile back and talked to him. I went on a walk with my daughter today and he was out. Starting talking to him and it isn't running right. Checked it over and talked to him about it some more.

On to the fun stuff. The body is a 88 1500 extended cab 8 foot bed. The motor is a "91 454 mostly stock with a dual exhaust that sounds damn good. It is certainly show and not go but he has dreams of a roots style blower on top. Not sure of the drop but it is low as you can see from the pics.




For good measure here is a quick pic of the "93 dually 6.5 with under 100,000 that my friend traded his 2001 1500 ECSB with 220,000mi.
It has no rust and any new GM body panels including a GM steel cowl hood. Painted charcoal gray with the cowl scoop black. I was and am jealous of this truck.


I told him he has till next spring to convert it to 4wd or it is getting a 1/3 or 2/4.

Yea I love this truck. The 454 needs some help so that it can be atleast a bit of go! She has a few imperfections but they are easy fixes. No rust and underside is fairly clean too.

For me the phantom is a classic style. It always has looked good and always will.

He has a soft tanue cover for it too but I don't know if I would like it as much as the cap.

and the cheesy chrome air dam... and the busted 'glass on the rear fenders, and the dented roll pan.... etc etc... if done up right they are cool to look at, otherwise, they are garbage, much like the one pictured... sorry, you have your opinion, I have mine...
