    1350 on an 855 is a good way to install a window in the block, fuel cutoff should be 2350, 17-2000 is where you want it and 3.90 with 24.5 are about perfect with a 13 speed

    put 6 piston coolers in it before you do anything else with it

    Cool truck, more pictures please. I’d pull that flatbed off, make it a long tractor, put a cool drom deck headache rack on it, and an old ravens alum flatbed. It would look cool

    Would make a cool motorhome
    Take off the flatbed and use an old airstream or Spartan Mansion camper .
    A spartan mansion would blend in perfect since they are kinda square

    Selling is an option of course.
    From what I seen other post for may be worth more as a back up truck
    What do you think it would go for?

    Not a bad idea when good years come back a money pit ro pit extra income, although that was the plan for the 359
