Up for sale is my 84 K30, this is a southern truck, with very little rust, and all of its original sheet metal.
Here's the specs:
5.9 Cummins from a 97 Dodge 3500, Factory 215 hp, p-pump, has new timing gear case (updated version, so killer dowel pin is no longer a concern), new dowel pin, engine is completely stock, donor truck had 190k on the clock.
Engine is bolted in using mounts from Tennessee diesel conversions, Clutch hydraulics from them as well.
Bolted behind that is a fully rebuilt NV4500 from the same donor, equipped with a 13" valair clutch rated for 500 hp/900 ft lbs of torque, clutch engages very smoothly and tranny shifts flawlessly.
Up next we have an np205 from a first gen cummins truck.
Factory gm driveshafts connect the transfer case to the original axles, Dana 60 front, Dana 70 rear 3.73 ratio.
Crossover steering setup from ORD, Jeep XJ steering shaft.
King pins and brakes all around (except for drums) have less than 5k on them.
Exhaust is 3" off the turbo, opening up to 4" just past the transfer case, straight through muffler and a 5" stainless tip.
The interior was redone by a previous owner with new carpet, reupholstered rear seat, front seat is from a 2001 dodge, upholstered door panels and head liner.
Its rolling on 6 brand new bf goodrich km2 255/85 16's.
This truck runs and drives perfectly, it's ready for work, play, towing, whatever you can throw at it. It handles a big Lance slide in camper, with a car trailer and race jeep in tow with ease.
I've put less than 5k on it since i put it together, but have been all over new england with it and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.
It's just getting due for it's first ever round of rust repair to the rockers, cab corners, and rear door bottoms. If perfection is your thing, it does need some finishing touches put on it, but nothing that could prevent you from using it daily. I'm asking $14,000 or best realistic offer, you cant build it for this money, let alone have it built by an ase master mechanic of 20+ years. (yes me)
There is an old build thread on this truck if you'd like to see pics of it going together.
Please pm me all inquiries as I don't check in here all that often.
I can e-mail more pics to seriously interested parties.
Located in Canterbury CT.
Delivery may be negotiated.

Nice truck and I do have some interest, I have to ask, why are you selling it?
 
So much want, so far away :frown1:

so untrue!!!!!

I (on east coast almost on the Atlantic ocean)... was going to buy a 1 ton crew cab 8'bed from a member here... no motor, trans, etch... so can't drive onto trailer...

$1200 delivery..... thus not too far from you!!!!:thumb:

BUY IT!!!! :waytogo:
 
Pretty sure Matt sold this already. I'll shoot him a text and have him update the thread.
 
Just spoke with Matt. It is still for sale, the buyer that was all gung ho flaked out. Unfortunately, Matt let his membership expire and hasn't been able to update the thread.
 
Take my truck for trade?
loaded with tons of goodness 1 ton parts... and has an 8' bed....


and im in NJ...
 
Sorry guys, looking like it's coming to my house. Just waiting for the bank to release the funds, all the paperwork is filed and looking good. I was going to wait on updating this until it was finalized, but don't want people waiting for answers that aren't coming. Matt has already pulled down the craigslist ad. Unless I drive off a cliff, this is going thru.
