Dually ZR2

Tyhuck · 08-11-2009, 07:27 PM

I saw a picture online somewhere of a dually ZR2. This was really nice looking truck. I know it serves no purpose, and is giving up almost all offroad capabilities, but it looks really cool. Anyone know where you can get the fenders? I figure you can just use wheel spacers in the rear. I dunno. Anyone got any info on these?

bubbagt57 · 08-11-2009, 07:28 PM

was it red?

Tyhuck · 08-11-2009, 09:36 PM

yeah. red xcab

bubbagt57 · 08-11-2009, 09:38 PM

96 body style then yeh seen the pic its alright

Tyhuck · 08-11-2009, 09:40 PM

I dont know what year it was but it was a gen II. I thought it was pretty awesome looking. And before anyone comments on me, yes Im a bit of a redneck. SO shoot me.

donaldps10 · 08-11-2009, 09:59 PM

dude, thats freaking aweosme!

i saw an old Gen 1 sonoma dually yesterday all beat to hell. i made my roommate drive by it so i could look at it. there is something about small dually trucks. freaking aweosme.

i almost bought a 2wd s-10 about a year ago off ebay that was a NAPA truck that was a dually. so there are dually rims for us out there... it would be so freaking aweosme if you duallied your Z... pointless yes, but awesome.

Peco · 08-13-2009, 12:14 AM

Are you sure it was a dually? I remember seeing a red ZR2 with a step side bed on it !?! I would like to see the pics of the dually!

beedle4 · 08-13-2009, 01:17 AM

Yeah there is a red stepside with silver flares...

scrubz · 08-13-2009, 09:16 AM

pics? never seen it

Bootylicious · 08-13-2009, 09:28 AM

***orangesonoma*** · 08-13-2009, 12:09 PM

yeah i seen it..its red and has stepside bed sides on a regular bed...

scrubz · 08-13-2009, 02:01 PM

well shit, I saw something like that this past weekend. not dual wheels though

Tyhuck · 08-13-2009, 06:40 PM

I did some searching an found the picture on this site of all places. Its definately not a stepside its a dually.

Blazin00Jimmy · 08-13-2009, 06:51 PM

looks badass and also almost looks like a ram

70welder · 08-13-2009, 08:16 PM

Maybe if you squint really hard and cross your eyes

Gearstix · 08-13-2009, 09:04 PM

I wonder how they did the rims...
I'm thinking about getting some dually wheels and tires (16" or so) and buying adapters and spacers for it. If I could find a stepside bed so I could duplicate the fenders in fiberglass, I'd try it. Cept my truck is 2wd and will be bagged.

Peco · 08-14-2009, 12:04 AM

Nice!! I've never seen that before!!

Peco · 08-14-2009, 12:05 AM

Now that I think about I ask myself "WHY". Was it just for the WOW effect?

98S10_SS · 08-14-2009, 12:17 AM

I've seen other pics of them too.

That one does look really nice.

I can't remember what site it was on, but there is somewhere you can buy Dually fenders like on that last one, you may have to do some trimming, but they will work.

If I can dig up the site, I will post it later.

They have the dual wheel conversions all over the internet and I think i saw them the other day in LMC or JcWhitney

I think they have just about anything you would need for the conversion

Pretty much. Its just something that nobody else has.

I am a teacher at a small east Texas school and we have a lot of redneck kids who think that a truck has to be BIG to be bad. I would do this to my truck just to mock them. (I know that sounds bad but its all in good light hearted fun)

It wont help you pull more but it may add stability when getting close to max capacity, but nothing else.

All they had were fenders for a 1st gen.

J Tizzle · 08-14-2009, 11:10 PM

I saw the red one on this forum a few months ago,it actually looks really good,but pointless for an offroad machine like a ZR2.

Blazin00Jimmy · 08-15-2009, 02:07 AM

ok maybe ya got me there but the back half really reminded me of a ram lol

Yeah, it is "Ram-like".

chevyboy76 · 01-26-2010, 12:34 PM

i would like to know what type of rear ends was used in the zr2 dually and what bolt pattern are the wheels? and what set of spacers was used from arrowcraft and and how would this be done to a 2wd s10 with a 5 bolt pattern?

Bootylicious · 01-26-2010, 12:38 PM

umm....hi, and welcome!

Tyhuck · 01-26-2010, 04:24 PM

From what ive seen, you could use a 5 to 8 lug adapter and run regular 1ton dually wheels on the stock suspension. Dont know how it would affect the factory 8.5 rear end, but it doesnt seem like you would have a problem in the front since the wheels wouldnt add that much weight if you stuck with the load range C tires. But, Ive been wrong before.
