well it's "ON" (as the kids say "like Donkey Kong" haha) I just got a call from the sandblaster, my frame is blasted and primed, it looks GOOD!!! No surprises of swiss cheese-ness after blasting. Only spot is the support gusset that goes 45* to the fuel tank cross member.... and I knew about...

Probably not "fiberglass" but a different kind of plastic, like ABS.

well the frame is at the blaster, and were headed north on Sunday to bring home another parts truck...parts for both this truck and my son's RC.... a beat up, rotten 92 RC..... hopefully I can make some $$ back and get my parts basically for free.... don't know what all is left of this truck...

I know I had put another reply in here, don't know why it isn't here?

I've heard of that. I used to have a nice set of minivan seats the right color, even but I sold them like 10 years ago. I have a set out of a 98 Durango here, the driver side bottom is smooshed and clapped out but the covers are still nice that I may try to adapt to the ramcharger seat bases. I...

What are they smoking? Yikes And the 73 door panels were definitely different, they were metal not plastic like thise

Aftermarket? Haha.

I suppose I could, I wish I could find a factory bolt in one from a 72-76 truck I did cut it plenty wide out of the junkyard donor. The junkyard donor had pretty solid floors and what was left , were springy/ floppy after I cut the tunnel out of it. I'm gonna lap the old/ new a bit instead of...

I made a trip to Iowa in December for the left overs from a 91/92 pick up... And got a damned camera ticket in the mail 2 weeks later from that day. I only put 700 miles on my truck in that one day in making 3 stops for parts for this deal. I guess they allow 10 over, I got hit for 11 over...

I said that wrong above. I actually do have enough parts to put my truck together and enough leftovers to put a complete front clip onto the one you have and then some. I actually have 2 core supports and my son says there's a 3rd one somewhere in our stash, probably buried in my shed .. one...

There's a clutch place about an hour from here that can pair up anything you could want. Diameter, spline count, flywheel bolt pattern for pressure plate, whatever.

I'm trying to get an 83 D250 painted and am getting quotes way more than they're ( the "experts") telling you that your running driving truck is worth. .

Ok moving right along I have my clutch coming, Rock auto had a hell of a deal on a LuK clutch kit for my combo... Went to the local junkyard this morning and got a wide trans tunnel out of a 90 club cab ( unsure if it would be completely necessary but would rather have it and not need it than...

87-90 3.9s were still v belt drive. Some things may interchange off of the front of it. Id rather take the alt and ps off of the original engine though

what else are you needing? I have some body panels etc and am an hour south of Chicago. Theres a guy on Marketplace around Homer Glen and Lockport that has a BUNCH. another guy by Yorkville but by his ads doesnt seem like he'd be that easy to deal withI could be wrong, I never tried though...
