Please don't convert it to flatbed! I love these trucks with their stock bed. Definitely needs some TLC, but that engine alone is worth a lot of money if taken care of right.

prob will stay with factory bed, gonna get the hole cut out a little more so i can put my stack on this weekend, remove the chrome tomorrow

woulda been nice with the 3rd pedal but it works the way it is, atleast for now

Is it a e4od?

If so a zf5 swap is a cake walk...

blow by is when you take the oil filler cap off when it's running and look to see if it smokes... if it's just little/to none your in pretty good shape, if it smokes like a freight train the piston rings are pretty worn.... I've seen plenty that had a fair amount of smoke and are fine but I've also seen a few on their last leg that was rolling coal from under the hood lol
