Heres my 87 CCSB 1 ton 4x4 project. Dont have any pics of it together but I am in the process of disassembly to do a quick frame off. Will likely wind up with a 6.0/4l80, NP205 combo. Already have 4.10 geared Dana 60 front and a 14FF rear. CUCV, spring packs and their longer shackle and hanger brackets for a little extra lift. Will wind up around 6 inch lift with 35s or so. Pics of the destruction.

You got it. I service Mercedes Benz and BMW vehicles for a living. You cant turn the rotors on them when you do brakes so rotors pile up quickly. These are about two months worth. I will fill the bed full and then haul them off. 'bout $600 or so in scrap once it's close to full. ;)

Nice truck krtp1.

As others have asked: Details. engine/trans, suspension .... obviously big truck wheels ... needs a rear roll pan.

Did you pick it up, ownership wise, before or after the vandals?

This is now my favorite-est Crew Cab. I love SRW trucks and they absolutely must be lifted.

New Here 1st post, heres pics of my 89 1 Ton. My Grandpa had one very similar (86) when I was growing up, and I always loved it. My cousin ended up with it and I was not happy about it at all.

Its a 454 with a 400 turbo (good thing I only live about 7 miles from the track).

I spent the weekend working on the interior. I think it is looking pretty good for 20+ yrs old. This old girl is virtually rust free. I am liking this truck more and more each day.

I am getting the bed lined tomorrow.
