Sweet.. Looking forward to seeing it and watching the build..

Wanna sell that visor off the parts truck 

-Steve

Looks like a nice find!! Are you going CTD also?
Jim

bitchen build! cant wait to watch.

I could have fixed you up with a great runnin crew.....  good luck with the build....

for a cheap crew.. wouldnt it be worth it??  LOL

I feel sorry for the parts truck 

What is that green truck lifted? Im looking to lift my crew, and I like that height..

-Steve

Are you sure the crew has a 208 T-case? I ask as all '81 W350s came with 205s with the D60F.

It could have been swapped or better yet they don't know it's a 205.. Hope all goes well picking it up and looking forward to more pics..

well just got home with the crew, its a 80 no a 81 like the guy said it also has a 205 case not a 208. its gonna need some floor pans in the front and a cab mount on the frame fixed but thats fine. for once in my life im happy with my fleet. 73 dart with a built big block, 78 short bed with a big block and 60s under it, 80 crew cab with 60 under it,90 jeep wrangler 360/400/20 with 60s under it. 87 wrangler 100% rust free, and my dd 97 ext cab. the only thing i would like to pick up now is a 74 rc with a bb and 4psd but thats just a dream lol. pics of the crew tomarrow

title and vin match to a 80.

its a old brush truck from out west, its got a dash mount vin by the glove box, says delivered on 12-1980. i thought it was a 81-85 also but not by the title and vin. im kinda lost here but hey its a crew so im happy.

Leon is right the fenders and bed are from an 81+ BUT the doors look like they are from an 80.

The 80 was the last year for the 70's style fenders. 81 was the first year for the 81-93 fenders.

Someone may have put a different bed and fenders on it though.

Then again it could be a build date of 80 but have the 81 body style.  

do the doors have the fender body line or not? Is the Vin # on the drivers door?

No two ways about it, it is a 1980 crew cab by the VIN.

Does it has the old style metal dash in it or the later style?

I'm right there with you being lost.. The only thing that makes sense to me is Dodge was short one '80 crew cab and slapped a '80 VIN on a '81 and shipped it on out..

It's a solid looking crew and not beat to death like mine was, yours should be road worthy in no time..

Very nice and won't need too much work to get it on the road.  

The VIN decoded as an 80 yep.

Dang great deal man. I guess we'll all be confused about the year and body style.  

got the bed and front clip off the 93, but things are at a stand still for a few weeks. working 7days aweek is getting old, 4 trailers are down and another on its way.running you own shop sucks.

Take it while you can because it might not always be there.

Did you do anything with the motor?
Jim

It's nice having a fresh motor that isn't marking it's territory all the time .
Jim
