1985 Dodge W-350 Crew Cab Interior walkthrough

Interior walkthrough of my 1985 W-350 Cummins Crew Cab

[@sjfodor]

Super clean truck. The turbo and door panels are really slick. Didn’t catch why you are selling, but you are going to make someone real happy. You definitely put in a ton of work into that truck.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks for the kind words. It was a ton of work, but quite fun.

[@jessecarpenter6434]

Just now saw the end. YOU SOLD IT. How much if you don’t mind me askin. And how much did it cost to do all that work. It was all so creative

[@maltraider]

Best first gen out there. It turned out beyond incredible. I hope I can get my pick up like this

[@hibbcase]

Thanks man, stick with it, this took me over a year start to finish.

[@Sdukes001]

This truck is cleaner and nicer than most of the new trucks going down the road

[@hibbcase]

Thanks, it was a lot of work.

[@rekazu]

That is a beautiful truck man. I hope to get mine like that some day! Just got my crew!

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@trumanbeaustack8379]

That is the coolest first gen I’ve seen so far! Great job man.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@chaddufour7693]

Dang that's a sweet build, I'll take one when you ready

[@keithleesnyder1807]

Bad ass truck. None better. Older classic with an updated interior. Perfection.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!!

[@odelldickey1170]

You did a great job, much better than a new truck . Thanks for the video.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!!

[@BurgaBea_Stro]

Nice build brother, working on making some changes to my 3rd gen

[@gsx95r]

Wow what an awesome job. That truck is supper sweet. Amazing is all I can say

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@coltonminer2292]

My uncle bought that truck. It’s so sweet. You did a amazing job!!

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@taylorferguson2531]

I want this truck! I just want a crew cab 1st gen I can drive and slowly build any leads let me know

[@ScottAcy]

If your uncle ever wants to sell let me know. Damn nice!

[@Lance_Buttery]

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK

[@chrishansen7004]

You lucky bastard that's a dream rig!

[@thomasborman2735]

Love it clean truck with a manual nothing better

[@daltonwaggoner5117]

Mind telling what you sold this for? And do you want to build me another ? Lol. Looks great man. 2010 interior matched up well. Solid build man. Let's see some more

[@hibbcase]

I don’t feel comfortable posting it publicly $. I spent well over a year on this truck, it was fun. I have a few more things I’m working on!!

[@devinmanderson]

I am very interested in your turbo set up...I just reworked a hx35w for my 12v but one the fence between vgt or twins I tow alot. Overall awesome truck man looks clean asf.

[@erwin643]

BTW, I'm more into fuel economy than horsepower (which tends to go along for the ride literally, anyway). I still have the original Holstet turbo on my 12-valve. I upgraded my intercooler pipe and intake horn from 2.5" to 3", along with a Diamond Eye 4" exhaust, but am not touching the governor, or any part of the old mechanical fuel system. Would getting the HX35 improve my mileage?

[@jamesnm21]

@@erwin643 why not have both? I barely made it up a steep, narrow road the other day with a heavy trailer backing up traffic and scaring myself in the process. It's definitely time for more power.

[@dangable4466]

Top shelf build. I have a cherry 85 w350 short bed Air Force truck I’ll be starting soon. Is there a build thread on any of the forums ? I’d love to look over the build if documented.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!! I didn’t document this very well. I probably should have, I just have a few random pics and videos I took during the process.

[@shaneroper5470]

Nice job!

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@tomkelly3896]

Nice

[@darylholloway4]

No lie I need one of these

[@Hatya05]

Very nice work

[@tylerzwingman6754]

Awesome truck

[@darylholloway4]

I love this truck

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@andychavez1278]

Damn!!!! Thats bitchin!!! I wish i had a crew cab! I have a 91 d350

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!! I searched and searched for a good crew before I started this. They’re hard to find.

[@andrewbrown2956]

Nv4500 swapped?

[@richardsix3295]

Really clean, I like it, what is the brand of suspension you got? is it front and back

[@hibbcase]

Front was a 2” lift, regular leaf springs. Rear was a custom bolt on airbag system I designed. Thanks!!

[@obliviousthunder]

i like what you done with the interior, im assuming you had to do a little bit of modifications/fabrication to fit them in?

[@hibbcase]

Yes the seats were definitely one of the better upgrades. It took a little bit of figuring out to mount them, but we’ll worth it in my opinion.

[@obliviousthunder]

@@hibbcase yeah I'd say so, it looks great 👍

[@-b1872]

Beautiful truck bro!

[@asmith7094]

I can smell this video

[@chespyrito2162]

This is a beautiful truck and amazing turbo sound ,how much money you put in the truck?

[@hibbcase]

Wayyy too much!! But it was well worth it!!

[@nventures1672]

That things sweet

[@workingmanblues6842]

Do you know who you sold it to i would love to buy this truck

[@yesdeere1376]

HO LEE CHIT!!!🤤

[@codycreager4428]

Are you building any more? I'm looking to buy one

[@chaddufour7693]

Yep, I definitely take one without air suspension

[@dylanwaldun8890]

Not now but would you be willing to sell it

[@benjaminbobadilla9379]

You should have kept it. Nice truck

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!!

[@jec9083]

Ill buy this! If you ever sell this let me know ill drive where ever an spend top dollar

[@michaelness9014]

How much did you sell it for?

[@anthonyprescott1913]

How did you find the B pillar trim? I’m looking for interior trim for mine, but I don’t see it anywhere. Was this custom?

[@hibbcase]

I searched for a long time and never found anything. I ended up making my own, it wasn’t easy.

[@landrymetals6655]

Nice truck. Is it for sale or no? Judging by the comments I couldnt tell.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks!! I sold it at auction a little over 6 months ago.

[@samuelherman4859]

@@hibbcase bro for how much was worthy a Think people interested they would pay over 40 k

[@Treyn001]

Where did you get those interior door panels

[@hibbcase]

Factory panels, I removed the dirty weathered carpeted sections and replaced with custom vinyl inserts.

[@erwin643]

Wait a second: 1985? I hear a 12-Valve Cummins in the background. I thought the Cummins engine didn't appear until 1989 in Dodge trucks!!! Also, how did you move the climate control module in your dash? Aren't there a bunch of mechanical levers attaching it to other areas behind there?

[@hibbcase]

Yes it is a 12 valve, this truck came with a 360 v8. It actually wasn’t that bad to move the heater controls. None of the mechanical cables had to be modified, I just had to build some mounting brackets and a trim plate to make it look nice where the radio was. There isn’t very much depth for the new radio location, I was able to find a shallow mount double din radio that worked great.

[@erwin643]

@@hibbcase Cool! Thanks for the reply. You obviously have some awesome fabrication skills. BTW, how did you manage to adapt they seat assembly from a 2010 Dodge to your '85? I Installed a suck pair of Qualitex-brand seats (If no one ever heard of them, it's probably due in part to Amazon refusing to carry their product anymore). Their seats are OK, but their center consoles are the worst ever (i.e., non-functioning cup holders, very cheap plastic. I don't think anything worse ever even came out of China!). I think next time I do a seat install (likely my little 1995 Nissan PU) I'll go with Corbou seats (hope I spelled that correctly). Wish I knew about them years ago.

[@hibbcase]

Thanks for the interest, the nice new seats made a huge difference in this old truck. I built some brackets and welded them in the cab floor so I didn’t have to modify the seats/brackets. Super strong and not too difficult.

[@excitationofstereocilia2103]

How much ?

[@timflvin4469]

Is the black quad cab still for sale

[@hibbcase]

Sorry I sold it. Maybe someday the new owner will decide to part with it.

[@brandonzigler8438]

How did you get the dash to fit?

[@hibbcase]

This was the factory dash, I customized a few things though.

If I had a line on another one of these trucks I would build it again. It was fun! Having said that I waited and watched patiently for over a year before I found one clean enough to start with. Good luck!!!

[@dallasattridge1668]

That odometer.......

[@nathanvandenhaak3963]

you just wrecked a perfectly good gem with the crap new interior, KEEP IT OLD

[@hibbcase]

You’re right, the comfortable heated seats, Bluetooth touchscreen backup camera radio, more than one speaker, carpet, headliner, door panels, power windows, power locks, and all that crappy sound deadening completely ruined this truck…

[@jamesnm21]

@@hibbcase funny, I was just going to comment this is one of the cleanest, nicest 1st gen interiors I've seen. Very well done. Hope mine turns out this nice. I'm debating about covering the top of the dash in some kind of padded vinyl and some custom trim. Seeing how clean you got the gauges and switches gives me some ideas for dash upgrades as well.

[@jamesdaple9951]

Nice job!
