I loved mine, but I had to sell it because I needed something a little bigger to legally tow the boat.

As does the GMC. This one caught my eye this morning:

Thats a purty one sharkey, I just ordered my new 19.5's for my dually:D, I got the lightnings from brent at www.brentzwheels.com They should be in next week. I'm running Toyo tires on it a nice highway tread with some good traction for the ramps. I've been busy on the ol lowered girl this week, new airbag helpers on the back and new Gibson exhaust to help it breathe a little better, great sound as well its 4 inches from the muffler back with a 5 1/4 inch tip...:eek: I'll post some pics with the new rims on next week...

about damn time there offshore!!!! I just finished up my exhaust kit and tip along with airintake setup, keep looking at the smoothie wheel by brent to run wanna be a little different. There is a guy here that has the lightnings had them on for over 6 months and hasnt had them repolished and they are shinning like crazy still look very good except for the strong offroad tread pattern (4x4)

Just had so much going on:rolleyes: I talk with Brent every couple months, may head down there to party. He wants pics of it haulin the Tiger for his site. The smoothie looks cool.

I did it to an F350. The worse thing is how it cuts down on the turning radius. It looks cool!

Let me know if you want to order a F450. I just got one with air ride suspension and it is pretty cool. I will post pics when I finished getting it dressed.

I have a question...

Can you order a 450 4X4 dually in a supercab and a a 141.8 inch wheel base? I know you can get a dually in a 137 inch WB standard cab. Seems like a straight forward purchase.

I was told you have to arrange the placement of your own bed on 450's and 550's. Is that true? or just on off the wall special orders?

Basically, I would like to do a dually next but i can't live with a long bed or full size 4 door.

Last but not least, have you heard the 2007's are coming out early? like next winter?
