New un-named crew cab project......
I picked up a 1991 Chevy V3500 today.
It was some type of fleet rig I assume. It is the fulfillment of another "dream truck" for me. 6.2L diesel, 4L80E, 14 bolt rear, Dana 60 front (got my fingers crossed for 4.56 gears ). The floors and rockers are shockingly solid!! I have got to get the alternator charging, throw a couple batteries in it, and replace the glow plug controller (someone robbed it). The interior is probably the cleanest of any truck I have ever bought. I'm not really sure what direction I am going to take it just yet, I'm kinda leaning towards OD green and H1 bead locks with the biggest tire I can get with the least amount of lift. I'll have to come up with a catchy name for it also.... On to the pics It's too bad i got rid of my gray interior stuff

my brain is racing trying to decide which route I wanna take. I obviously don't want to cut the fenders on this one. I need to figure out how big of a tire I can run as it sits. I want to keep this one simple Quote:
I'm actually pretty surprised how solid this truck is for being up here. It doesn't take long to turn one into a rust bucket. I totally understand Adam!! I was in the same boat. this one was sitting about a half mile from my house since we have been up here. I finally saw the guy outside and stopped to ask about it. I about fell over when I saw it was a 6.2 with a 4L80E and then he told me how much he wanted for it.......I'll just say I almost felt bad for getting it sooo cheap, almost

Re: New un-named crew cab project......
Nice truck Joe! Looks like an old Alyeska rig. There are a ton of those all over the state (but few with the OD), part of why we can find 14 bolts and dana 60's so easily up here. I think you could get 285's under it without any trouble...

I wasn't sure what company, i know I see a ton of trucks all years that are this color, the burb is the same color but it has power windows. That's kinda what i was thinking, 33's should work....I want bigger though, I may have to lift it a bit eventually

Re: New un-named crew cab project......
I really hate to see all the stress this rig is causing over tire size so I will be happy to take it off your hands for you.

Re: New un-named crew cab project......
thanks!

And it gets even better, the 4L80E is backed by a NP205 and the front output has a CV/double cardan joint. I also found a tag on the front diff, it says 4.10's. a little disappointing but I can't complain My t-case won't come out of 4hi, I'm not sure if it is the shifter or the case. I'll probably look into that this weekend.

Re: New un-named crew cab project......
I guess the t-case shifter was just stubborn from sitting. I did some research and decided to try the "bang it into high" method
It worked I also thought this was interesting I guess maybe it is a '91 6.2L, 4L80E, only deal?

What's all that white stuff everywhere? It looks like the end of Scarface.
