85/86 Deluxe D50 parting out

I’m not a 1st gen guy myself but found this 85/86 Sport type truck in the local scrapyard if you need something I’ll talk to the owner and try to work something out.

Just off the top of my head the body was rough bed cluttered, old camper crooked on the bed and holding water the interior was complete, dirty but sheltered in fair shape all glass was in the cab, windows up. Noticed it’s had gauges/tach on the speedo more gauges in the dash below the radio see pics.

2.6 A/C M\T high back buckets in fair shape (repairable), chrome towing mirrors the engine looked intact. I want the 2 stock 15” 5 slot wheels to make a set but that’s all the rest seems to be mostly 1st gen stuff that’s no good to me. If I get enough interest I’ll pull the truck over to my place to part it out it sucks working out of a tool box away from the garage on the big stuff. PM any questions and I’ll pass them on to the owner and go from there.

I’ll get some pics up ASAP off of my phone.

I need both window crank mechanism's.. (the part inside the door connected to the window itself)... just need to make sure they go up and down.. mine go down and only about 80% up .. thanks man.

Window regulators it sounds like. I’ll go back in the morning and check them out no problem.

I'll take a quote on the center console. Just the front part with the gauges. That cluster looks decent. I already have one, but I'd think someone on here would want to snap that up pretty quick.

What condition is the dashboard in. Looking for one.

I’ll check it out today and get back to you.

Dash top has 3 big cracks in it. Both Windows went up and down no problem . I just bought the truck so I can tow it home to part it out in the shop with my jacks and air tools. I ripped up my shoulder and bruised some ribs last month and working with one arm sucks. Had to pick up a DeWalt 1/2 impact to get anything done trying to pull a trans and rear end out of that 92 D50.

I need to look at the bed over closer it was more solid then I first thought its parked in the weeds I need to pull it home for a good going over it’s crowded with other vehicles and dirt piles around it. It has a topper that looks like it’s for a short bed on it plus junk in the bed so I need some elbow room.

The camper looks trashed it’s the same type as the one in that junkyard crawl video thats up on here now I found that ironic.

Pulled it home today will start parting it out next week heading south to get parts on Monday.

I'd love to have that transmission and case, but your a bit far from me. definitely keep that and don't junk it though, impossible to find those.

KM 145 the shifter feels good not all sloppy I’ll need to take a closer look next week just finished parting out that 92 2.4 truck.

I'd be interested in the guage cluster (if it will work in a 2.6L 4x4) and all the center console parts.

Here is what I can tell you it’s out of a 86 4X4 D50 2.6 manual trans that I picked up to part out never had it running so I’m not sure what works for sure. The plastic center console is solid no cracks or splits in the plastic it needs a good cleaning this model has a removable hold down bracket that will come with its not the welded to the floor type. I took a pic of the wire loom hookups if that helps to match your plugs. The center counsel had plugs also for those gages also. The dash to the floor piece will separate from the floor part of it with just a few screws. It mounts with a couple screws in the dash the bracket screws into the floor 2 screws below the dash into the hump and some screws towards the back of the hump part.
Any other questions or photos needed just let me know.

This never shows that a message went through I sent it again or email me at philotto@midstatesd.net

Thanks Jerry

LOL just sent u a message and got this message at the top... Law Dog has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

I cleared the box completely I would think it should work now

can you get the wiper switch harness from the switch through the column? I have a good switch, but I sold the truck off before I pulled the harness for it from the donor truck.

I’ll look it over tomorrow should not be a problem how much loom do you need?

Hey Lawdog, thanks for sharing! If there's still a 15" steel chromie wheel left I would love to buy it from you. I have a set of 3 and would love to complete it. I also need an AC control switch from a Gen 1 truck and the hi/ low beam / turn signal switch assembly from the steering column if you still have those?

My back 2 wheels were damaged in the fire on my “tank truck” like you I need 2 to make a set they are tough to find, I’m checking out a yard that has some gen1 trucks soon hoping to find some more wheels then. Just got home from work I’ll get out there later today and round up what I can for you.

These the right items? It had intermittent wipers if that matters?

Yes I believe so! Do you know what you want for them?
Bill

I see 2 guys wanted the same parts with similar user names a little confusing I’ll need to work this out now. Since I don’t want to just pick one let me know what they are worth to you and I’ll go that way if that’s fair and allowed.

Think I got it worked out now it should workout for everyone.

got the regulators today.. thanks so much... now to buy the other part to make them power windows LOL..

I’d set them identical to the ones when you pull those old ones out. I had to move them to try to fit them in a different box but that was a no go. Just seems if they came out a certain way the new ones might go in easier that way.

Good Luck
Jerry

To make them power, the power regulators from a 1st gen Montero will bolt in place of the manual regulators.

what years are those? I know 0 about montero's

If the motor's toast, would you be willing to sell the cam caps, assuming they're salvageable?

You’re talking the full one and the half one I’m thinking, how about new ones for the g54b head? If you want to pay the shipping I have a new set of those.

Jerry

Looks like I have a spare set if you need them.

Thanks Jerry! Unfortunately those are camshaft end caps, I'm after the machined caps that are the top half of the camshaft bearing surface - they've got two bolts each, and hold the cam in place

rockers arm setup this one has jet valves.

Got my parts Saturday... Wow thanks Lawdog! I'll reach out to Pennyman.

I appreciate you doing that.

Thanks Jerry

Hey Law Dog! By chance does it have an LSD 3.909 rear end? If so would you be willing to sell it?

The tag says 3909 do you want the ring and pinion or drum to drum parts? It’s gettin parted out so I’d like to sell as many parts as I can before it meets the crusher. I’ll need to check if it a LSD or not today.

Looks open to me I have one in my 88 D50 that burned up but that’s going in my 87 extended cab 4WD sorry. If I come across one I’ll let you know I’m always checking the yards for them.

Jerry

any chance you still lgot the trans and transfer case? mine isn't holding up too well with all the rock crawling I do with my stock case and I could use another one to rebuild

I’ve got a fresh Rebuilt KM 145 still wrapped in plastic and a good transfer case that I’ve ran before, I’ve also have a 86 trans and transfer case in a truck I’m parting out with a 2.6 engine I’d need to look over.

Law Dog, do you still have the headlight switch? Please PM me what you want for it.

This one?
