Well, I sold it.. No more volvo diesel for me..
Finally sold the Volvo... Didn't think I would after how far I had taken it, but I found another diesel that's just as rare and something I've never had the chance to mess with, a 2 stroke Detroit. Had to sell the Volvo to make room for that to be my new daily... Just couldn't justify having the Volvo, multiple air cooled VWs, a Detroit powered truck and my "normal" vehicle (F250). I'll still stop in from time to time to see whats going on and say hello. Don't know if the guy that bought my car will join here, but I recommended it to him. He seamed to be a pretty big diesel enthusiast and was very excited about buying the Volvo, I think it went to a good home.
Its been fun, you all have been a great group of people to share the build up with. Jason

It was fun while it lasted!
I'm a little disappointed in your coverage of said Detroit though, lots of questions unanswered. If it fits in a Volvo size spot, I'm pulling for 55-65 truck with a 3-53. |

Well Jason, I suppose all things must come to an end. The D24T forum was the reason why I kept my Diesel Volvo when things starting getting finicky with it. The expertise and the quality of the information, and sharing of this information, is a very valuable resource.
Good luck with that screamin' Jimmy, I've driven a few 4-53T's and 6v71N's and they are a real hoot! Give us some details on it when you get a chance.

Thanks guys,
its a 453T powered GMC 3/4ton, its a 1978. I would have liked something older but finding a Detroit powered anything these days is tough. That being said, its old enough to look cool but new enough to have some nice comforts that are kinda important in a daily driver, like A/C, power brakes and power steering. It has a new process 5 speed and it will be backed up by a 3 speed brownie that I just picked up off craigslist and am rebuilding now. All its missing are a set of Jakes, but I'm on the hunt. After owning a Mack B61 with a twin stick setup, I have been itching to have a twin stick truck to grind gears in, and the sound of that 453T is going to be awesome... It was time for a new challenge, I enjoyed the Volvo for quite a while, but the build is part of the fun. Jason

Nah, just on craigslist. Really wanted to sell it to someone local so I could go over everything on the car with the potential buyer.. I hate out of state sales with old stuff like this, someone else's idea of "nice" and my idea may be different, and if they come hundreds of miles just to be disappointed in some way, well I'm not fond of that. Besides I had lots of parts to go with it, a whole other engine, etc...
