My bagged 78 GMC Dually aka "black betty"

[DonkeyPunch]

Here is my bagged 78 GMC Sierra Grande. 6500 pounds of pavement peeling awesomeness. 1/2" lines and valves all around running two 444 viar compressors to a 5 gallon reserve air tank, truck is run off of nitrogen primarily. She'll jump pretty good. still ahve some more bugs to work out as far as re-construction, I bought the truck half done with the c-notch already in place and a fedw other things so alot has to be re-done. I have a rust-free bed for it along with new fenders and a hood, and a driver and passenger door from a suburban with power windows. Anyway, here's some pics, along with a rendering of how she will look in the future at the end I'll update this thread from time to time with prigress, I yanked the 454 Big block out in favor of replacing it with an LQ4/4L80E combo and eventually going to cummins swap it. well, the LQ4 decided to eject a rod out of the block the other night so now i am shoving a 5.3 in it. More pics to come in the near future.

Love the whole truck, those bumperettes are awesome!
What are the headlights from? Or are they just an aftermarket deal?

Awesome build. The name DonkeyPunch sounds familiar. Were you the one building the lsx GN?

I haven't been on that forum or lived in VA for years but that build was awesome.

Headlights are 24 volt LED Truklite units from an attack Humvee, brightest damn lights I've ever seen

Okay, that front bumper in the last pic is fucking perfect. This thing is dying for a big nasty 6BT with a hood stack.

I have everything to do it, just need time lol. and the 6BT is in the future dont you worry about that.

Yeah that's me. Parted way with that car earlier this year, became too much of a headache and had too may issues to complete the right way.


Thanks for all the kind words fellas.
