Bought this back in April 2018 and I could have sworn I posted about this back when I bought it but after looking threw my old posts I apparently did not. Found myself a 1991 Chevrolet R3500 dually, TBI350/4L80E driveline and a Dana 70HD rear axle with about 250000KM for $900. She runs, drives, stops and has the high transmission hump for a 4x4 conversion.

Since I bought this truck I've parted out a 1988 V30 and will be putting the Dana 60 and the bed and rear bumper towards this project along with a VSS NP205 I found in 2019. I'm going to build a 400SBC with Vortec heads a custom cam and the TBI unit from a 454 with a goal of 400-500FT-LBS/300-450HP on 87 octane, convert the truck from heat only to A/C, convert it to 4x4 and it will become my next winter beater/work truck. At this point I've got basically all the parts if I decide I'm willing to pull the 400SBC out of my 84 GMC K1500 but I'm currently driving it and don't have the money to start this project at the moment either, so she waits for richer days.

Looks like a fun project!
