06 3500 Auction Score

Greetings all,

Havent been on much since I sold my other trucks, but picked up a truck at auction today that I'm gonna be tinkering with so I thought I'd share a couple pics.

2006 3500, 4wd, 8.1, Allison, Crew cab, utility bed with 98k miles. Seems to run and drive well, been maintained at the NASA base where I work so its pretty solid other than some rocker panel rust that every one of these trucks seems to have. Has typical work truck dents and dings and needs a seat, headliner etc but otherwise in perfect shape for hauling the dogs and kids around.

Plans as of now are to clean it up, change fluids and filters, find a center console and use it for truck stuff around the inlaws farm and towing my atvs around. Eventually I may try to find a fleetside bed for it but thats down on the priority list.

Everybody loves pics so here are a couple of the truck and a couple that make the truck cool to me.

Re: 06 3500 Auction Score

The Utility bed might pay for a fleetside bed.

Nice looking rig. Good score.
The 8.1L and Allison scared me away from a couple nice looking trucks. LOL

Re: 06 3500 Auction Score

Latest update.

All new steering box, TREs, Ball joints, Pittman, Idler, brakes all around, fluids, ex manifold gaskets, Used 265s on some PYOs, replaced speakers, head unit, and mirrors. Tinted windows, and a bud of mine just fixed the rust in the rockers for me. Also swapped beds and removed stickers. Here are the transformation pics and latest pic I have from a couple weeks ago just before i dropped it off to get the cancer removed.

Re: 06 3500 Auction Score

Just picked up a set of methods this week, gonna likely upsize to a 285 when these go on the truck later this spring. Also got a new set of body mounts on the way, notice the stock ones were pretty beat when I was installing nerf/step bars last week.

Do I need to worry with getting the speedo adjusted if I go to 285s? Damn sure dont wanna mess up the trans shift points/pattern.

And here's a pic of the new wheels. Will likely be a while before they go on the truck but they were too good of a deal to pass up.
