Hello! Got some screaming deals on a donor truck and a crew, so I decided to build me a DD crew cab 12V! So here we go.
A good friend of mine had a crew cab that's been sitting since 96, 2wd 454/400. Pretty bad rust in the rockers, tilt steering cruise all the good stuff. He wanted to pull the motor out of it and trans for his 74 gto, so he told me if I pulled it for him I could have the truck. So the price was right to deal with fixing the rockers. ![]() So I brought it home, originally was planning on putting one of my 6.0/nv4500 combos in it, then came across this clean 1st gen for $1000 and who could pass that up?!?!? ![]() Stripped the cummins down, sold the body and auto trans for $1400, kept the kingpin dana 60 and rear axle, and obviously the engine and related parts. Bought a nice grill and support at a swapmeet, picked up new 4" exhaust, he351 turbo, resealed the engine, bought a 99 nv4500 and 241dhd, modded the tcase internally to be flipped and flipped it upside down under the truck, 2nd gen intercooler, isspro gauges, dana 70 rear and did a disk swap, new flatbed, por 15 the frame, 52" front spring swap, all kinds of fun stuff. Im just going to post a bunch of my random pictures haha. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Did all the usual pump mods, afc adjusted, fuel pin ground way down, power screw in 2 turns for now, 3200rpm spring, advanced timing 1/4" etc etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCi8rsvwmWQ
