Crew Cab Dually Questions

[NastyBuzzard]

Ok guys. I have always wanted a lifted 91 crew cab short bed.

Since I moved into my house about a year and half ago, I drive by this truck everyday to and from work.



Ever since I saw it I have been trying to find the owner. It is next to a house that is abandoned/boarded up but I have been asking around and finally got his name but no contact info.

Well last a week ago I road by and finally saw the owner out there cutting the grass so I stopped.

Hes a 80 year old man who had a landscaping business. He said the trucks engine blew in the 90's and its been there ever since. He thinks it had a 350. The engine was stolen as well as the radiator and some punk kids have shot a hole in the door.

After hours of talking to him he said he had the title and If I removed the bed and ladder rack for him he would sell me the truck for $300 after he dug up the title.

As you can see it's not in perfect shape. He said it was a 76 or 78 and had a posi 14 bolt rear w/ 4.10s 2wd.

Told him I wanted it so when I get around to removing the bed and stuff I will need to figure out a way to get it about 3 miles to my house.

Rear tires are rotted though and rims are on the ground. Front tires look like they will hold some air though.

I opened the door to check it out, no headliner, interior isn't great and floor pans/door sills gonna need some serious love/metal repair.

I was gonna take pics but got stung by some wasps who have taken refuge there. Also the ds front door wont close all the way tight.

Here are some more pics I took.







So what you think? I can stop by and check it out and take as many pics as needed.

What do I need to look for/check?

Worth it? I think so.

I just happen to have a 02 6.0 sitting around...

Also since I have a 89 front end conversion I am doing to my 87 while I am doing my ls swap I will have the 87 front end I could put on it. Unsure.
