Crew Cab
Saw this drive past me the other day in town and I found it on craigslist 2 days later doing a local search. Solid truck in person. It's Gas and auto (I've heard it), two negatives but man would this truck be sweet with a Cummins/getrag i have laying around 
.
Not very often you see 80-86 Crew cabs.

That is a pretty nice truck, around where I live there are usually a bunch of crew cab duallies that pop up on Craigslist (from all the horse/livestock haulers that are updating their equipment), but SRW crews from this generation are rare. My only complaint about it is the bed, it's been replaced with a late 80s/early 90s. Must have had a rust problem, since the owner says it's never been in an accident.

yea I see 92-96 trucks with rotted beds worse than anything/
But what i meant by solid is the cab and fenders. I've seen it in person in a parking lot and was like cool and took a gander.
What makes the beds different besides the tailights and tailgate ?

80-86 beds have different lines. A little bit more angular. I also recall reading that a bit of modification is required to fit the later beds on the 80-86. It is a nice looking truck, prettier than my 86 crew cab diesel. I've not seen many even though some on this list claim they [80-86 crew cabs] are common. I love mine, and the more I find out about this series of pick-ups the more I appreciate what I have!

Yea i'm BS on them being "common"
Common is a Regular cab longbed.
Maybe i shouldn't have used the word "Rare" but unusual. and this IS the first one i've ever seen in person.....And i go to truck Carlisle every year.

As for '80-'86 Crew Cab I wouldn't consider them rare by any stretch, I have seen plenty over the years in South Jersey both in person and in ads. You want rare, try finding a '77-'78 Supercab 4x4 anything. Those are rare. '80-'86 Crew Cabs are not rare, thoguh many were 2wd.
A couple minutes and I found these in your neck of the woods...
