    1988 K100 Cummins STC NT88 dynoed 683 HP, rtlo20913A, 3.90 rears, all aluminum 80% bridgestone 11r24.5 on AG100 suspension i purchsed the truck last year and i have done a lot of work including complete engine out of frame build done the right way block sent out to machine shop, all new heads replaced all head bolts, brand new cam followers and camshaft, custom fuel pump and turbo, completely rebuilt the STC system, all silicone coolant hoses, new alternator,belts,water pump, fan clutch, new radiator, manifold and turbo housing are ceramic coated, transmission has 3k miles on it, all new brakes,shocks,drums, studs,nuts, bearings,seals, u joints, all 8 bags, suspension rebushed with real polyurethane bushings from Australia tie rods and bar, kin pins, hanger bushings, aluminum fifth wheel, frame blasted and painted with high quality CASE paint and epoxy primer, all LED lights, buckskin heated seats, all gauges from a 2003 KW, webasto heater.

    I have a lot of time and money spent on this truck, only things that i have left to complete are installing the daylite doors, because i don't like the ones it has on, i have a bone type steering wheel i had restored but never installed because i wanted to use a tilt column, install the ac lines since one is leaking, and install the hydraulic lines for the cab because they are brittle. I will include the both doors with matching interior panels, the steering wheel, and all the hydraulic hoses from pump to the rams. paint looks very good for its age originally allied orange but then painted united van lines colors and naturally the original orange is starting to show in some spots from stone chips

    Truck runs great and has plenty of power but never abused always driven by my dad or myself only reason for wanting to sell is i have a nice business opportunity but i don't have all the money so i have to start selling my toys.Weather has been rainy and crappy but ill get better pictures soon

    This truck is exactly the one I want to buy, once I get the money... I would paint just the "BJ & the Bear" truck... I would also use it for flatbed, step deck and reefer...

    You talking about the time when everybody and their brother in CA is going to let go of their old trucks, and flood the market? (God, I hope that happens! I want one!)
