Thanks! It is a 454/TH400 with a Dana70/HD. I dont have any good shots of the interior yet. The truck was a "Western Hauler" edition so it has bucket seats and its loaded!

Nice score. Nice truck.

Thanks Ratty! I think once it is all black with a 3/4 drop and some 19.5 wheels is should look pretty sweet towing the scarab! I would really love to do a static 6/8.5 drop but I fear it would affect its towing ability. I can always squeeze another inch out of the height by adding a 1" drop spring in the nose and removing a few leafs but we will see how it looks with a 3/4 first!

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

The seats are real comfortable but they are a little low so the seat belt annoys me. I think I am going to raise the seat 2 inches

That looks great, did you just cut the back of the single cab, and the front of the bed, and slide the rear part of a crewcab in the space ? would it have been easier to swap the entire cab? badass looking truck.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

here are some pics of how i had to cut the floor of the new cab to fit. the reg cab frame's step up before the rear doors, and so i had to cut it to clear. the good news is that you get about 2'' or more clerance than your 1 ton crew cab frames. better for wheeling also there's a pic of the cab at the junk yard i bought. Rock on brother.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

That black and copper one was a gasser last I saw it. The guy lives arond Grinnell Iowa who last had it. He had it for sale and was advertising it as a good candidate for a cummins swap. It was pretty reasonable too. I guess another person could have purchased it and swapped one in by noe too.

Here ya go mel, Oh and I forgot you will have to fab up some rear cab mounts. I just cut some out of a crew at the junk yard and welded them in just above the rear hangers. you will have to do the same for the middle one's. the reason i haven't done this is im going to weld some rock sliders to the frame and cab, and i'll gain my support that way. Good luck my friend, and i would love to see your pic's.
