Looking to find my next build canidate. I’m mostly looking for a later diesel lhd 80 series. If I can’t find a diesel 80 I’m going to search for a locked lx450. Needs to be rust free and clean. Thank you!

I recently bought a rhd 60 that has adjustable lower seat base. Hoping I might could find a driver side (lhd) as mine is for the passenger side (drivers side in rhd). Hoping I might could make a pair have them recovered.

Parting out this rhd 60, missing engine/trans/tcase. Body is mostly rusted out with only a few decent panels left. Willing to sell the whole truck or part out, let me know what you need!

Hey guys. I pulled these off my frame swapped 60 as they were alittle long for my setup. These will work on a 80 series but I think they do require atleast 2” of lift. This version is the 1/4” spacer so if you already have the truck dialed in with springs it won’t mess with the height much...

decided to change directions on one of my builds. I originally bought the blackbox adapter to do a duramax swap in my 80 series. The Allison uses a 29 spline output shaft, as well as the 6l90e. I decided to switch back over to a ls and bought a 6l90e for that swap. I’m looking to sell the...

I have a lx I bought alittle while back that needs a new home. Interior is alittle rough, body is fairly clean. No rust that I can find. Truck does not have lockers. The truck starts right up, however something is knocking. To me it sounds like it’s something up top. The noise will actually go...

Thanks man! I like the Cummins but it had to go, this will be a way better swap in the end.

With the 80 series radiator being a lot wider, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to fit another battery on the passenger side. I got extremely lucky and have just enough room to use an optima battery haha…couldn’t have planned that any better. My wiring was a disaster from the Cummins swap...

it fits. Had one of these u-built-it fan shroud kits laying around that fit my 80 series radiator perfectly. The fan on the 606 is pushed way to the passenger side. This kinda presented an issues for me as I want to use the stock mechanical fan. This was another reason for using the...

Local pick and pull got an early fj80, so I went and snagged the axles and suspension components. Front coil springs on these are more stiff to handle the weight of the 3fe. These seems to work perfect on my swap and is sitting almost prefect. By the time you add bumpers, winch, and batteries...

Was able to use the stock om606 engine mounts by chance. Was pretty stoked about this as Mercedes are known for being smooth and these mounts have a big part to do with not transmitting vibrations into the frame/body. These engines are a pain in the ass to lift, basically no where to hook...

When deciding on what route I wanted to take with this build, I thought it might be neat to have the truck awd just like the 80 series. The hf2a are damn near bullet proof, and not terribly expensive. They have a very simple shifter setup as well compared to the split case. I bought my...
