Thought I'd update with pics of the evolution of my crewcab. 
Day I bought the truck and drove it home....
After the 6 months of RE/RE work to make it truly road worthy....
The new rad support, grille, bath tub hood and box....
And now after the 4wd conversion....

85 W350 Crew
Here is my 81 Air Force crew after I got it and threw some better sheet metal on it. Red, White, and Blue to support 'Merica! Was a LA Air National Guard pickup for the first part of it's life, then went to the Baton Rouge Fire Dept. where it got rode hard for several years. After that, a man in north Texas bought it from a government auction and installed a very clean bed and rear doors. Then it was my turn, Denny T went and picked it up for me and left it with my father (I was out of state serving our country).
Then I scored this sweet ride for $600 bones. It was a 1985 with a locked up 360, cab was in much better shape.
Here it is going together. It has a 93 VE motor, 2wd fixed yoke NV4500, divorced 205, Dana 60/70 with locker/limited slip and 3.54s, factory rear springs with 92 6" blocks and Alcan springs up front.
Here is how it sits as of 2014.

Looks like the toy runs on propane too.
Do you have anymore pictures or info. on the ladder bars on the white crew?
How do they attach to the axle?

Thanks TC! Yes the offroad truck is a blast, my wife and I have a lot of fun in it!
Oliver, I hope these pics help, I would run out and take some better photos for you but I am out of town. I used two 3 point tractor top links and some tubing on the bars and the brackets are 1/4". Bolts are 3/4" grade 8. (Sorry for the unpainted axle, I just swapped the factory Dana 60 for a 70)
I just built a set on a Cummins powered 74 Power Wagon that I put together for a friend. Brackets look cleaner and the axle brackets are much shorter for clearance, although I have never hit my crew cab ones on anything.
