New to the forum real like the stance on you truck I'm building a crew myself if you don't mind me asking what size lift how far dose the rear wheels stick out past the fenders and are the fuel wheels the ones they list as lifted offset if you don't mind me asking do you have any more pics thanks

I won a benefit auction for a LS swap kit but needed something to use it on. Well, I found something. It's a bit of a diamond in the rough right now.

This thread is discriminating against 88-91 R/V series crewcabs, but I'll post mine anyway.. :sexy:
Here's my 79 C2500 earning it's keep bringing home it's new big brother V3500. Towed it like a champ, just over 14,000 pounds all together at the scales. Felt stable at 100 km/h and the little stock 350 didn't even have a problem maintaining that speed.
Love my crewcabs!!!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

couple more pics

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

I checked this one out while @ the show. Clean truck & clean interior. I meant to go back by & investigate further but it slipped my mind.

What mods if any to make the Fuels fit? It's a 6whl pkg correct? Tire sizes?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

This is our (my) '85. He has some work planned in April when I'm stateside again for a few weeks!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Nice 85 young lady. I bet you can't wait to go do vet calls in it, huh?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

That was my original plan but now I want a 4x4 (originally from Iowa) for my vet truck. Earl here will be my nice weather hauler (camper, horses) and we have another 80s crew cab that will hopefully be a diesel and 4x4 conversion.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

It looks like it was a good price on that. Should make a nice project!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Thanks.
275/40/20 and 245/45/20. This truck was an srw 3500. I used dodge dually front adapters and put the longer dually studs in the stock srw rear end.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Just about all done with mine.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

thanks guys. They are alcan/ORD 52 inch fronts about 3 inch front and 4 in the rear... have a cummins that will make its way into it when i have all the parts together, so the front will come down a bit more.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Have more pics?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Build thread? Curious about that winch plate! I just finished one for mine that looks similar.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

X2 on more pics dose the rear tire stick out past the fenders very much

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

What other pics do you guys want? No problem getting more.

it's a diy4x4 a bomb so the front springs mount off it aswell... Has a warn m12000 winch which was a dam tight squeeze. Had to trim the carrier and driver side frame horn to clear.

No build theard sorry guys.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Pic of the winch mount

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Mine with my old 98 I sold to fund the bag setup for the crew.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

The winch mount is awesome! I had spotted something like that on another forum and liked that it retained the stock bumper so I built my own. NOTHING like that setup though. What did shipping cost for that?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Ya I like how compact it is. Did have to trim the hood latch support aswell.... Here is a pic of it's big rear :) and nice job on yours!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II
 

Thanks. Ya I was hoping for 17's also just no selection of decent wheels wide enough to safely run a big tire...
