I got a line on a 4l80e for this. Anybody know where I can get a standalone controller to mae it work ? I actually got a line on a 1994 k1500 for 1600$ with a 6.5. I may buy the whole truck and cut it up for parts for the cucv.

for a mere 1500$ I now own a CUCV. Pics to follow. Has 58k miles. All original right down the the 24v. Overall good shape other than access port in the drivers floor so if you run someone over you can see if you knew them. Also convienent for dropping out empty beer cans...
Now what the do I do ?? I have 3 P/Us...

Is this the same one(fire truck IIRC) they said they would have to scrap due to no MSO?

Looks like you'll have to see if that spare parts area of yours is still there. now you've got a use for it all again. ):h

Can't wait to see pics. I just got mine registered yesterday and i'm working my a$$ off to finish up the floors.

NO. This one was auctioned off by sealed bid by the Town I work for. Just in the nick of time. I may need to put plates on it. The Lemon has issues again. Never a car jacker around when you need one.

Stock, less than a 6.5 . It's around 135hp IIRC. But once I jiuce up the IP and put a 6.5 turbo on it it should wake up nicely.

 

[Acesneights1]

Now I got the 94 and this. Something has to go...
Ahh The DODGE !!!
