Not to hijack, but are those MS tags on your dually ARAMP1. Maybe in Meridian if you are a pilot. Just curious as I am in Jackson. Love the truck, I'm looking for one myself now.

Yip. I was stationed at Columbus AFB. I just took an assignment to Tinker AFB, OK. I've been looking for this truck for over 6 years and finally found it. They are out there, I just had to be patient. Good luck on your search.

K5er4life ,Thats a nice truck you bought . I've kinda always wanted a truck just like that (diff color though) But around here they fetch about 5500 to 8000k . I bought a 1 owner 84 srw 2wd 1ton a few years ago for $1500 . It was a AZ (No rust) truck and had 98 thou original miles and had a rebuilt 454& t400 dropped in at 96 thou (it's at 100,765 miles now). The 1st owner and his wife died in a crash and the family (my neighbors) got it and couldn't get it to run (aftermarket fuel injection ) . I put a qjet on it and all was good . I did score on ebay all new factory 4x4 brackets & hangers and plan on converting it to 4x4 . They are great tow rigs 
. The Az sun baked the headliner in mine

Thank you very much, they go for quite a bit more around here too. I got lucky, when I saw that truck. It wasnt going nowhere but home with me. I wasnt even neccessarily actively looking for one, I mean I am always looking at classfieds and seeing what is around, especially in the way of a crew cab becuase I wanted one forever. When I heard the price I was expecting it to be pretty beat up, I was very surprised to say the least. So far so good with it, taken it out on a few trips, prolly around 250 miles round trip. And I drive it everyday when I get home from work to go to school. Its awesome well worth it, I reccommend a crew cab to everyone!
Hey post up some pics of your crew if you got it.
ont know whos this is but it is badass!

Ok here is my 84 2wd srw 1ton crewcab . I really want to go duelly but I hear the bed's are different where the fenders bolt on and I don't want to mess up my nice bed . I already have a 4:10 geared rear 14bff with a detroit locker in the truck now so it's just a matter of finding a d60 w/ 4:10's and mouting up a div 205 and building new front & rear shafts . I would think with the taller 1 ton frame (3") and a 6" springs a guy could run at least a 38" tsl radial swamper . With my mild built .30 over 454 I should be able to to keep my 4:10 gears . As it is now with a 265-75-16 tire the truck runs 2500 rpm at 55-60 mph . The rack thats on the truck was a $50 cheapy off craigslist And it's much needed for those trips to the steel yard to pick up all my pipe/tube for my fab work on my rigs .
