I found a 1991 4x4 crewcab v3500 at a wrecker quite a few hours away from me. It has no front axle or doors. But i was told it has the 4l80e and 205. 

Im thinking about getting the tranny, transfer case, cross member and the electronic speedo cluster. Anything else i should grab???
I'd grab the whole truck if they will sell it

This was for sale near me in Georgia last week for $5000

I almost bought it just to haul it to Jersey and double the price

K guys i need to get a game plan for these projects.

heres the current plan.

remove the yellow truck body and pull the transmission out. put the 2wd silver truck body on that frame with the turbo 400 and np208 from the plow truck. lift it up 4" with a nice soft riding lift kit and put it on 285/75R17 (34" tires).

I was wondering if I could steal the blue interior from the plow truck (1984 interior) and put in into the front half of the crew cab?? will things line up? power window/locks into manual doors, 1984 dash pad onto a 78 dash??. Id find new blue panels for the back doors and get a new seat cover.

I got the 1991 4l80e and 205 with the crossmember and TCU from the black salvage truck being shipped this week. Im researching on putting that behind a 12V cummins or a 6.0LS into the crew cab. Im leaning towards cummins for fuel mileage. then lifting it up and putting bigger tires on it.

I could piece together one more mud boggin truck out of the yellow truck/ plow truck frame and engine/tranny out of the crew cab. or just scrap it all.

Heres my new shop that I need to pour cement into in August. After cement is poured ill start taking trucks apart.
