A buddy of mine just bought this ride, i love it except for the bumper, fire truck paint scheme, and the stake rack doesnt quite make it to the cab, its a few feet short. If i had the money i wouldve bought it.....

dirtfarmer629 05-09-2009, 09:00 PM Looks nice! I agree I like it also except for that front bumper. RCpullerdude 05-09-2009, 09:20 PM Am I seeing things, or has that truck had a 4X4 conversion? If so, it's a great find. dirtfarmer629 05-09-2009, 09:25 PM Good eyes RC it is a 4X4 u can see the locking hubs. RCpullerdude 05-09-2009, 09:32 PM Good eyes RC it is a 4X4 u can see the locking hubs. In that one pic of the front wheel, you can also clearly see it uses all 10 holes on the wheel (factory use only 5 lug hubs on front) and you can see what looks like a bit of the diff. big block 88 05-09-2009, 09:35 PM I thought they made 4X4 HD's Cab Chassis MRBachand 05-09-2009, 09:58 PM In that one pic of the front wheel, you can also clearly see it uses all 10 holes on the wheel (factory use only 5 lug hubs on front) and you can see what looks like a bit of the diff. U sure factory HD only uses 5 lugs? I have 8 luggers myself, non HD. RCpullerdude 05-09-2009, 10:02 PM I thought they made 4X4 HD's Cab Chassis No. The HD was available only as a C3500HD. U sure factory HD only uses 5 lugs? I have 8 luggers myself, non HD. Yes. They have 10 hole 19.5's all the way around, but only have 5 lug hubs on the front, using every other hole. MRBachand 05-09-2009, 10:49 PM Gotcha, from factory they are not 4x4 so they didn't feel the need to 10lug the front wheels.

You feel like the king of the world. It sits super high, yeah, he said the fire department did the conversion when the truck was bought brand new... RCpullerdude 05-10-2009, 12:36 AM maybe someone just threw on 3500HD badges instead of the oringinals Look at it real good. Definatly HD, nothing normal C/K about it other than cab and engine. big block 88 05-11-2009, 04:01 PM maybe someone just threw on 3500HD badges instead of the oringinals No it is an HD no doubt, you can see the soild front axle, and just the sheer size of it is much larger. You are correct6 on the 4X4 Hd's never made from the factory all were C3500 all were done by conversoin company's IamDave0887 05-11-2009, 04:23 PM I think you need to get him in here as a member. a manual trans 4x4 c3500HD. I want one. :drool: 01Duramax6spd 05-11-2009, 04:53 PM I have always wanted one of those. That is D70 front. Trucks were built by Tulsa Truck and Equipment iirc. Local FD has one. There was one with a Cummins on Ebay a while back. King Nuzz 05-12-2009, 06:18 PM Envy here too. Rare truck and a worker too. Even that space between the rack body and the cab - perfect place for a transfer tank :D How many miles on it? Brooklyn tow 05-12-2009, 06:27 PM Rare Rig......HD 4X4......Nice! HVACDIESEL 05-12-2009, 08:11 PM I wish I had the extra money when I bought mine.Those 4X4 HD's look awesome. MRBachand 05-12-2009, 09:11 PM I wish I had the extra money when I bought mine.Those 4X4 HD's look awesome. I would trade that frame/suspension over the IFS & torsion bars any day.... do the HD's do any better with overheating problems then regular? Or worse? Probably overheat like the regular ones? HVACDIESEL 05-13-2009, 08:53 PM The truck has a massive frame,and huge rear end and brakes. Mine has a 3-4 dump body on it, and I've never overheated. I know I have been over loaded many time's,I could tell by a screaming fan,and having the truck squating pretty low .Biggest problem is lack of power climbing hill's loaded. I love the truck though. 01Duramax6spd 05-13-2009, 10:55 PM I found a 92 today but it's a 454/5spd. I may grab it if it sells cheap. It's on an upcoming auction. | ||
