Photos of my new ride...

[91W350]

Well.... almost new. I picked it up in Chadron Nebraska and hauled it the 520 miles home on a trailer. The odometer was at 25,000.0 when I bought it and now it is 25,400. The thing runs great! It does not have as much diesel clatter as my old 85 had and it does not start as quickly. It seems to have more power and does a little less fuel mileage wise. It has been running 16.5 in the city and 19.5 on the road. Anyway, thought I would share some photos of the beast. Built late in '86, so it is titled as an '87.

Great looking truck, and awsome find, i am trying to find one myself. The differences in power, timing and engine noise could very well be just diff in timing between the two trucks. Since this new truck has good power, (never mentioned any smoke) and is alittle harder to start I would think your pump is timed slightly BTDC. There are plenty of 6.2 owners running up to 8.5* BTDC @ 2000k RPM. I personally timed my old 6.2 to 2.5* @ 1300 rpm and found it the best trade of for both economy and power.

Looks frickin' cherry, I'll bet that wasn't cheap.

That is from my old 1991 Dodge 5 speed 4x4 Cummins Pickup. In Dodge terms of the day, W was 4x4 and 350 was the designation for one ton. So, toss em all together and you get 91W350. My first Cummins pickup was a 91 3/4 2wd or 91D250. Glen

It looks better in the photos than in real life. It has a small but fairly deep dent in the hood, I suspect a forklift ding in the left bed side and a raised spot on the right bedrail. They let something slam into the front of the box and it is about bowed to the cab. It had been serving the Job Corp site at the Pine Ridge Park in NW Nebraska. I cannot find anything with rust on it, not even bumper bolts. Kind of cool to see that part. None the less, I feel fortunate to have it and it drives super.

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. Glen

I don't think he was a Medic, I think its in reference to a truck. Check out his signature line he has 1991 Dodge W350 SRW Cummins listed as a vechicle. I thinks thats where "91W350" comes from. I do agree with everyone on thats a sharp truck.



I see evertbody posted what 91W350 was before I could, late as usual.

Okay I have to ask. What is the importance of the 10th digit?

Mine is a "F" in a 85 M1009.

Gotcha. New to the owing a CUCV thing and wasn't sure.

Have driven several over the last 20 years, but haven't owned any until this year and have owned two.

Nice looking truck.

 

[91W350]

If that is your Blazer in your avatar, that is a nice looking truck too. I think one of those is next on my purchase list.

 

[KsM715]

How did you get it? was it a GSA sale?

Small world. I was born in Chadron, drive through there twice a year on my way to the Black Hills, I live about an hour east of you just on the east side of Manhattan.

 

[91W350]

The Chadron Home Center bought it and sold it on Ebay. I think it sold through GSA prior to that. I used to come over your way pretty frequently, bashing my M715 at the Tuttle ORV Park. Never left any parts there, but sure ruined a nice pristine M715 tailgate, slid backwards down a rock shelf into a tree. I wish I had left the gate at home that day!

 

[KsM715]

Ive got a nice small short jeep for the orv. I wouldnt even dare to take my M715 down there for that very reason.

I have some photos of it belly down on the ledges. If I can find them, I will post a couple. There was not many trails there I did not run with it. 37" tires, Detroit Locker in the rear and a Lock Right in the front. Small block Chevy with the Novak conversion. It worked pretty slick. If I was to do it over, I would have used a Chevrolet engine, transmission and transfer case. I wanted to keep the stock transfer case shifters and E-brake lever.

This one was on top of Soldiers Cap at the Smoky Hill Bombing Range. Glen
