Whats better than a 1st. Gen Crew Cab??
TWO 1st. Gen Crew Cabs!!!

I tried to buy this thing off of a guy that lives a couple of blocks from a good friend of mine but he wouldn't sell. A week or so ago it vanished after sitting in the same spot for several years. Well it turned up at a lot and I was able to buy it at lunch today!


Its a 1984 D250 Crew Cab 360/auto. Now what do I do???

Well the 85 I have will... But this one is nice enough that I think I'm gonna swap all the drivetrain from my gasser and make a 4X4 heavy half.

Well when you already have the Magnum gasser sitting there and no $$ for another (diesel) truck it makes the decision a little easier.
