My Dream truck was ANY truck with a "cummings" at first back in 2004...

1989 D250 727 converted to Getrag 5 speed.

Then a 1993 W250 LE 5 speed grail (sold)

Then built a 72 Crew Cab 4x4 cummins 5 speed... (sold!)

Had them all... Treated them well... Enjoyed em all... Sold em all...

NOW I have my current dream setup - a 1992 W350 DRW LE CC NV4500 and built Yota rock Crawler with car hauler.

It was tough to part with the '72 crew but I'm happy with what replaced it. I like to experience as much as possible my dreams always change? What will the dream be next!?!?!

My dream truck is really a 2nd gen wrapped in 1st gen metal. It would be a CC long bed in blue/silver two tone. Coil sprung front end and p pump 12V with an NV5600 and drivers drop 205 to make more room for the exhaust. I'll get as close as I can afford with my 92.

In the 80's I lived in San Diego and had a 72 Chevy LUV that I put a buick 225 v-6 with a power glide. I blew that up and put in a 231 v-6 witha turbo 350 it had a 3in body lift (long before they were common) and 32x11.50 tires it was kind of an early pre runner

Thanks for the comments guys. The W350's body is pretty rough actually but solid and mechanically sound!
