    So not have alot of pics yet.
    Pulling the b3d and pulling end dump or trash tipper was an idea. Its up there with just putting a dump bed on it (it does have a wet kit)

    Add about 3 to 400 rpm to what your used to running on that mechanical engine.. never lug them if you want it to survive . They get their best fuel economy around 1700 rpm and power 2000 ish pulling a hill.. shorten your oil changes also oil will get fuel in it quicker especially if you lug it below 1500

    I’m not sure. It would depend a lot on the condition of the interior and such. Probably not much to be honest. between 4500 and 7,500 would be my guess. Unless it’s just something special. Which no offense it’s not. But it is a nice decent shape 4070.

    No offense here.
    It's not exactly in great condition.
    Under 7500 it's probably worth more as a back up truck
