Well if you search 71 GMC cummins (its a teal truck) the guy took at dodge frame and dumped a 71 body on it. Would that route be easier considering the whole drive train and engine are already hooked up opposed to fitting a cummins drivetrain and all that up in a chevy body and frame

@PrimitiveStrikeForce

Sure if you could find something with the same wheelbase. The front axle isnt as desirable as the chevy one though I believe with the vacuum disconnect stuff on it and maybe ball joints. Adapting all of the other stuff like an intercooler will still have to be done.

If dodge made a crew cab I would have just got one of those to start off with.

@Jishory dodge did make 1st gen crew cabs look them up as 1st gen cummins crew cab

@cumminsbayou Well shit, where were you a year ago?

[penguingt]

how hard was the swap? did u have to make the engine mounts ur self?

[Jishory]

@penguingt Swap was pretty much the most challenging thing I have done automotive wise. Just because shit wont bolt up and where the truck and drivetrain interface shit has to be fabricated or digging through the back at napa finding shit like a radiator hose that will work. Engine mounts i got lazy and bought Tennessee diesel conversions engine mounts.

Was it worth it? Yes, now that its done. Will I do another one of these? I fucking hope not, lol.
