In the future I plan to add an OD unit or NV4500, 2" max lift and dual 33-35" tires. Other than little stuff, I just plan to drive and enjoy it.
Damn, that thing looks like a time capsule.....
Actually, an every day sight for me to see rust free old sheet metal driving down the road. Just took me a long time to find the exact truck I was looking for.
Cool truck!
Got Smoke?

Yes it is, just wish someone didn't toss the AC system at some point...

That color combo is awesome, and you get the nice interior with the SM465.
Thats an odd one there.

I really like it.... I was just completely surprised to find a truck that fit my wanted ad so perfectly. I usually end up buying something nothing like what I want and have to change everything.
So why the build thread?
If you found what you wanted and all you are doing is slightly bigger tires.
It's actually refreshing to find exactly what you are looking for.
One time I found almost exactly what I was looking for, a suburban with barn doors, lifted 2" with 33" tires, and a Banks turboed 6.2/700r4/241
The only problem was the body had a little of rust damage, I drove it for a couple of months and ended up selling it and making some money, because I needed it.
Now I have the perfect candidate, clean and setup right, but I need to get a better engine for it, so I need to do some work.
I think I already found the right engine, will know soon.

There will be a little more than that over time. I just have to get back to work before I spend any more money.
Gonna piece the AC system back together?

a guy I used to work with had that identical truck except it had a 454 same color scheme and all, when he first got it it was as clean....probably cleaner, but he ****ed it all up, it was such a shame, his dad was the original owner
Once you are ready to get the A/C back in there and you don't want to buy new let me know.
I have an 88 diesel with A/C
Nice score man.
So is it yours? Did you buy it?
Don't think there is any way to make an OD unit work in such a short wheelbase. Sounds like an NV4500 swap would be the way to go.

Lots of people have put OD boxes in regular cab longbed trucks. Totally common.
