Just picked this up...overkill for what I need in a truck, but I always wanted one! I'm sure there's nobody else on here like that. 
In my defense, I am trying to buy some acreage and build a house this year.
It needs some work, but I'm looking forward to seeing it improve. Fortunately, the body is reasonably straight and the engine runs great. At under 140k miles, it's just a baby! The biggest concern is what seems like the rear seal leaking into the bellhousing. Any ideas how long before it toasts the clutch? The flywheel looks wet, so there's a fair amount getting in there. Beyond that, the bent receiver hitch frame, ugly hitch wiring, non-functional cruise control, buying rear tires to match the newer fronts and the really poky passenger window will need attention.
It's white with the gray interior, a major selling point for me. After I get the basics in order, guages and exhaust are probably going to be the first mods. No tach on a 5-speed truck is criminal! I live within spitting distance of Stan's Headers, and they seem to be highly recommended on here. I'll be trying to soak up as much info from the group and will probably ask some newbie questions, so help (and patience) will be much appreciated!

Ok, I moved my stacks to where they should be.
And I had to have some fun
Yep, I am on my way to some big numbers!

BTW, my clutch bogged the engine in 3rd gear with me STANDING on the brakes

I don't believe wannadiesel has posted his truck.
Does he even own a truck?!?
Here's mine, I have no affiliation with the Co. name on the truck. They never took it off before selling it. I plan to remove the name but I have better things to do for now.
Early 91 D350, DRW, 727, 480k mi., 16' box, Just under #16,000 when loaded on a Certified CAT scale.
