1996 Chevrolet c3500HD CrewCab BEAST - Junkyard Rescue Take II

If you're able, I'd take the set of rods that you get to a machinist and see how much it would cost to make a few sets of duplicates. I think you'd make your investment back pretty easily. Heck maybe @Biggershaft96 could help you out. He's a machinist.

So update on the handles - I am starting to reach out to see if anyone can make the rods and pawls so everyone can have Topkick handles since they are impossible to find.

Funny thing is my HD currently has the same mirrors on it! One is all jacked up but my plan was to go with 2015+ tow mirrors instead

No not a crew cab! If I saw one in person I'd be drooling over it! You're like @GarretGmc wanting my damn HD!

So I'm looking more at this truck, and it still has the complete engine harness in tact, and still has the computer behind the glove box. So all I really need to do for a heart is drop in a 6.5 and go. Then the interior stuff should be easy enough to clean up.

With that said, as long as I know my 94 6.5 runs good I might be yanking that engine out to stuff it in this HD.

Yes it's not my ideal powertrain but it's enough to get this thing running and driving.

Then I can start the fun stuff, but be able to use this truck while I collect parts. So I think that is my game plan!

Also, some asshat cut the bolts off that hold the rear seat in place so I'll have to weld a nut in them to remove them.
