Pullits got a new"er" pile
Well picked me up a 93 W350 Ext cab dually 5spd today. Its rough but the price was real right.
Plans as of now Include a NV4500, The Bradford bed off the old mans truck, The usual pump tweaks a small set of sticks and to clean it up an fix a few issues.

It is so sad how someone can treat any fine piece of machinery with such little respect to get it to this condition, I treat vehicles in the wrecking yard with as much respect as I do my own.
Looks like A little steam cleaning and some TLC will have it looking as good as new in no time.
How hard is it going to be to register it for highway use again?
I used to work as a mechanic for a roofing company where the roofers were pigs, they would turn the new Chevy LUV's into this in a matter of months, I would wash out the insides using diesel fuel then the steam cleaner and the trucks looked like new when we sold them.

Great find! I am very jealous! You can now tow your truck to the pulls or home if it breaks or just have a spare. I've been watching like a hawk for another 1sttruck gen for the right price, preferably a manual non ic that's mechanically sound. Wouldn't really care if it was bear to crap. Just like you said, a little love, a little time and a lil screw turning makes all the difference

Nice! yea I'd overfill the getrag and drive it till it blows, if it blows
that is one horrid interior, but it will make a nice driver with the cruise control and the comfy bucket seat(s) once you get a good one! because i bet that seats not comfy at all Haha.
Looks like it'll buff up decent as well, that Dodge red is one tough color it rarely peels off! just burns off
