Hi ya'll and thanks for the site. I have been a member since 2006 but I don't think I ever posted anything. I have lurked and learned plenty, a sincere Thank You, much knowledge here. The pickup in this title is my 2nd build (or third if you count the stock CUCV). I built a 90 V30 3+3 on 40's with a flatbed that worked really well a while back then sold it (TBI 350, TH400, NP205, 6" front leaves Ruffstuff crossover steering, DIY4x4 shackle flip with 6?" junkyard leaves in the rear and inboard shocks, D60 front, 14B rear with discs 4.10 gears + many other upgrades). Both my DD's are F350 longbed crew 4x4 diesels and I just don't need a crew toy. I have a stock M1008 CUCV that just sits around here that I was going to build but it's too clean/straight and rust free to hack. It's a Seabee truck to boot. Trying to explain my history and introduce a build. I don't rock crawl but i use my trucks hard and go where I need to go when I need to go (ranching in West Texas with limitied patience creates situations) Here is the 90 Crew (made Big Shell at 60+ mph during low tide the whoops were smooth) 
The title of this build is somewhat misleading, the "house" (engine) is stock, damn near, and the only blower is the AC/Heater blower. But anyone that has watched Cannonball Run II might follow. So I traded into this truck and even though I had pretty good knowledge of the V30 trucks I did not know you could get an old body style single cab in 1988 if you bought a 4x4 dually. So here it is 454, SM465, NP205, D60, D70 Dually, Custom Deluxe. Prior owner/owners removed the TBI and left the harness and computers then installed an old Holley carb, PVC fitting body lift and junk hummer tires before I found it. I had a reman Qjet from a 91 V30 in a box that runs perfect after installation on Day 2 of ownership (assembly line GM mfg carburated 1991 V30 3+3 Air Force fire/rescue truck). This is at pickup
Initial plan is to make a few upgrades, paint the cab, add a flat bed and use this truck to look cool in town, feed cows and put out hay (when it's muddy) and teach my boys how to drive a stick. Zero rust on the cab, none, was TBI but the Qjet runs great, has some type of lift springs and the steering is worn out, but, how many K30 EFI 454, 4speed single cabs are out there?
