well this past weekend we took the dump bed off the donor of the 4l80e. the bed went to auction today while i was sleeping, the auction isnt until saturday. but while my buddy was there he saw something and he thought of me




its a 90 3500 4x4. if i can get this then i get to keep my 84, dont know why just got that 84 but im attached to it and want to keep it around. he looked over this truck it does have its rust spots like floor board and maybe rocker but he said hes not scared of it

Nice find. You could sell the lift gate if you get it to offset the price. Good Luck.

Well we get there. First thing I see is this
She's a old air force crew cab. Then I saw the date 1991, looked underneath and my jaw dropped. 4l80e and 205. So figured this truck would touch 3k if not more cause of the lift. Ended up paying  $1800.  Then I saw a receipt from a fast food joint just 5 days old.

Ended up selling the dump bed off the 99 for $300 that's after we took the pump off so that worked out great.

That is crazy. I can't believe you got it for that. Very jealous.

Nice find.
What does it have for a motor?
If its a 6.2 diesel, the 4L80 will have a stand alone computer in it.
This could make your Cummins swap a little easier.

for some reason also the truck has a block heater but it all looks factory with the 350, got to check out the vin. but did the military put heaters on everything?

No, I've owned 11 Military CUCV's (6.2 diesels).  Only 2 of them had block heaters,.  I'm guessing mine were installed by the police & fire departments that owned them before me.

Neither can I lol. Have my little girl due next month so might wait for her before I rip the truck apart. But does anyone know why or if the airforce puts hitches on the front of trucks.
