Project Daily Crew
Hey guys, with putting in lots of fab time in on my 72 Crew Cab project, and having open heart surgery last summer, I decided to buy a truck to build and drive in the meantime while continuing my big build.
I found a 89' V3500 for a good price and went to look at it which I bought and drove home. Enjoying the feeling of driving an old truck, plus a crew cab, which is a new feeling for me. The truck came with a set of brand new SRW Hubs, so that was a plus. Here she was when I drove her home.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Drug it home and began Dismantling. Decided it was too long for me, so chopped her down. Found a usuable bed floor in a salvage yard for $100 and decided to buy new bedsides. Also, converted the front to SRW.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Then came the itch to lift her. Had a set of new 37" 16.5 wheels and tires. Started with a 4" I bought from a salvage yard with a 1" ez rate in the front. These are without lift in the rear yet.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Got my bedsides but didn't want to wait for Classic Parts to get some in with doors, so I just picked so.e up at LMC and added the doors in to keep moving.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Then found a great body for my truck only an hour away. So I pulled the trigger and drug it home and began Dismantling again.

I dig it, especially like the aluminum slots.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Holy cow. Cool truck and nice work. How long have you been at the project? Keeping the TBI on the 454?

Re: Project Daily Crew
I drove the truck home in March, and have occasionally been working on her.
I will be keeping the TBI unit on the 454, that's until I run into a 12V Cummins maybe. It wouls be nice to already double the mileage.

Re: Project Daily Crew
I did get the tranny and transfer case in. Had to make a 2" square tube spacer for the bottom of the nv4500 to work. Also replaced my rear driveshaft joints.

Re: Project Daily Crew
Man I hate to see a long bed truck cut up and go to a more useless bed, but the resto work looks good ..
