1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler

[MTCK]

Yeah it is pretty unique. You don't see a lot of K30 SRW's around here that aren't crew cabs or CUCV's. I already have the crew cab covered.

The truck was purchased new by the school district, so I am the second owner. The 1984 title looked like it was about to crack and break in half. Advertisement said it had a 250 in it, but that was not offered in a K30 I don't think, build sheet shows 4.8L and the fuel pump is in the center of the engine, which I read is specific to the 292 vs. 250 or 230.

This thing is really growing on me. The 292 combined with 4.56 gears pulls and pushes snow like a mule. I think I just need to accept it and start a build thread. IF I do keep it, I'll ditch the flat bed / lift gate for a regular bed, then pretty much freshen everything up as is. It has a little rust on the front inner fenders, driver's rocker, seat has holes on the driver's side, driver's gas tank is inop, I don't like the big truck battery (and associated hood clearancing) and various dents and scratches. The motor starts in the cold, runs great, but gets terrible mileage (5-7) and diesels on shut down when hot. It needs some gauges too. Time will tell.
