1991 K3500, 454 TBI, 4L80E, NP205
Fully loaded, power windows/locks, a/c, cruise, dual batteries, 9000# Warn winch. This is my holy grail! I'm super excited!

It's currently very "old man-ish"
I'll take care of that post haste!

Plans are just a clean driver with some subtle updates. There is a very small amount of rust to fix and the passenger fender is caved in.

Oops
It's a V3500, not a K3500

Decided to keep Scarlett a dually, she started life that way, my other K30 was a dually and it just felt right.

New shoes in Michelin 9.00x16 with a small spacer to provide a lil breathing room.

Messaged you


I made some more progress classin' up the rig

[anson0487]

I love this site. But quit using it much cause I can't post pics. I crashed my crew cab short bed a couple months ago, about to get it back together now. I'd post pics if I could. Lots of nice trucks on here. Love to see them all.

[TecRsq]

Wide Open and Eyesore, much thanks and first flatbed rig I've owned. Really liking the simplicity and ease of use with the bed. It just makes so many things easier.

I don't miss cleaning, waxing process and sweating the dings / scratches anymore.

Just toss it on, strap it down or hook the sucker up.

Gotta get my Deathproof Duck mounted on the hood though.

[joe231]

Thanks!
I wasn't even looking for a truck. This one popped up so I sold my 98 K3500 CCLB to get it.

[1968vetL-71]

ya, you got a good one there! I love it. I check out the craigslist for crews up in alaska once and a while for kicks, and man they are cheap and plentiful up there. Just cost a fortune to get them back down to states i'm sure. Good luck on your 91! Keep us updated with some pics!!

[joe231]

Yeah
I think it's around $2000 for an auto transport to the lower 48.

Will do! I'll probably start a build thread eventually...

Nice truck

Like you, I'm really starting to dig flat beds. I have an extended cab 93 Ford F-350 with a dump bed where the side rails fold down for loading. I like it better than a regular bed for utility and it's easier than pulling a trailer for most things.
I'm looking to replace it with a 73-91 crew cab.
It's not a GM but it's still better than carrying the stuff myself until I find my new truck.

[mckustomfab]

Here is mine after I swapped on a Contact Maintenance Bed, right now i'm working on getting the bed cleaned up and holes filled. Then paint it one color, and get it ready for work and camping and maybe get some 40" Michelin's.

[av.8r]

It started simple. Every evening, I would look at threads like these, and drool. Now I own a truck that gets 9 MPG, that I am forever working on, and don't regret it for a second.
'88 V30 4x4 454 w/ a 4" Rough Country (I went cheap) lift, 235/85/16 Cooper tires, and a helluva lot of my time, blood, sweat, and money.
Before and After

[TecRsq]

The nice rigs just keep showing up in this thread. Ya gotta love 4 doors and a six pack.

Nice purchase friend, she's gonna love you long time.

[joe231]

I've been making some slow progress...
I need some current pics, this is the best I have

[legendman]

Couple of updated pics...

Damn...that looks good. So is it a round eye truck with 89-91 front or a late model truck with an early bed?

EDIT: two different state's plates?

Thanks! Its a 91 R3500 with the suburban front end. I'm not sure what year the bed was but it is an earlier bed. I bought the truck like this so I need to start digging into it and making it my own. The plates are different cause I took one photo when I first got it and the other one today.

[joe231]

And a pic of my 88 CCSB, it's currently being used as junk storage (topper, plastic bed liner, and a bunch of junk in the bed).

[twotonecrew]

Got it lifted finally! 6 in whatever I had laying around 315s on stock wheels with hubcaps. Everything worked out great, didn't even have to mess with my camper axles.

Here is my 87 CC Dually. 454, TH400. Picked it up a few months ago - it was sitting behind someone's barn in AZ. Zero rust. 86K miles when I picked it up. So far I've had the windows tinted, new alternator, new starter, and complete rebuild of the A/C. Next week it is getting new exhaust.
