I'm a bit bummed too, but it was just falling apart. The dash swap was a terrible idea and the transmission issue was just killing me and breaking my love with it. I could not get it to work and by that point I was over the truck.
I like my new Red Chevy a whole lot more and it's practical for what I need (granted it needs another engine right now). If I kept the 6.5 it would have got a SM465 or a NV4500 and a paint job, but I'm just over it. I spent so much money on the grey truck and I only got to drive it a total of 4ish miles myself since the engine swap last summer. For less time and money I was able to clock a few hundred miles on the red truck. Then again I busted out that engine swap quickly!
Here's an update on the Tow Truck that came to get it, it's some 6.9 or 7.3 IDI Ford Super Duty, and they came Friday night to come get it. Their tow truck didn't work (I personally blame it on being a Ford!) so they had to leave without the truck but the title is in his hands and is 100% no longer mine. They are going to come get it at some point within the next week.

And that 3500HD, I posted the same photo to the 88-98 truck page on Facebook and received lots of thumbs up to buy it and build a truck out of it.
@thz71 commented with a photo of his 3500HD as did several others and numerous comments with how rare a crew cab HD is. Whenever I get a chance I'll go look at it a little more up close (and take more photos) which may be this weekend or next weekend and see if we can work out a deal. The fun part will be getting it to Doyle which is 76 miles away from where the junkyard is located, and supposedly it doesn't have any rear tires or rims now.
Every single window needs to be replaced, and it's missing the front door handles. So I'm hoping I could pick it up for a few hundred bucks but I honestly don't know. Interior has been sitting in the weather but I would like to make it black, power windows, 2015+ Silverado tow mirrors, 8.1L Vortec; Duramax; or a Cummins swap, and newer black chevy cloth or leather seats. That would be a project that would take years to finish if I do buy that thing, but my ultimate goal would be a flatbed or a sneaker lift so I could haul vehicles or whatever trailer I want and feel comfortable driving cross country in it if I had to. For being 19 I want my dream truck and have no funds to build it! A 4WD conversion would be cool although I really don't want it to be stupid tall if it's going to be hauling trailers all the time. So I would stick to 2WD and use my red truck as the lifted truck to drive around whenever I get to the planned SAS on that. My Dodge is the nice truck that I really don't want to tear up.
The other thing I forgot to add, I actually bought a bed for this truck too a few weeks ago. Now I just have no use for it since the red truck is a long bed and I have different plans for the 3500HD.
