Its a 94 that lost a motor due to blowing the free plugs.

Overall its in great mechanical shape(minus the motor). They decided to cut the fenders in order to fit 40s and removed the door stripes for some reason as well.
But for the price I got it for I can fix that stuff pretty easily. Its just sad they cut the fenders when the body is so straight, but oh well

It currently has an e40d but I am contemplating swapping my 460 zf tranny into it instead of the rebuilt zf I have in one of my other trucks. This one came with a new torque convertor and rebuilt IP that I really have no use for.

The turbo kit is all there but is in need of a rebuild as it is a loose lol.

My plans for it as of right now are to get it in my name then put it her all back together. Ill swap in my 100k 7.3 with ether my ats 093 or banks kit(most likely banks as I want to see if theres a difference in boost output off the line). Ill probably throw on my 6in skyjacker springs and run the stock axles till I gather a few more parts to swap in my "newer" axles that I just picked up.

Another nice thing is it came with a flipping gooseneck ball which saves me from having to buy one lol.


The outside could use a litting clean up but the interior is really clean and has no cracking or wear marks. Just need to replace a few broken door handles.

It is replacing the 87 crew cab I bought to build.

I've been looking for an untrashed obs for awhile. I've bought several 87 4x4s for around that but no obs trucks.

trust me about wanting a crew 4x4 obs. I have had just about every other combination, bricknose crew 4x4, obs excab 4x4, but never the obs crew so i built mine.

Seriously!

I've found a few 80's crew cabs for sale, none 4x4 though :(

If i could find a 2wd crew in good shape i would gut my 4x4 for parts....or D60 it...

I had a 2wd before and that dont bother me. I just want a crew cab. Hell, i've never even used my 4wd since i got the truck...:D

It's sad what the previous goons did to the fenders. I guess I've just never understood the need for huge tires. My 31's do me just fine.

I love me a red obs crew cab.

Tell me about it. Heck for a 50 bucks he could have bought it the springs like I have and fit 38s. Im just glad it doesn't have a red interior. Obs red is fugly.

It also has power mirrors which is a first for me
