I went out to the shop and look what the wind blew off my truck.

I'm going to start boxing the frame tomorrow. I'll work on this until my parts show up for the wife's excursion, then it's go time on it until it's done.

I'm pretty sure we are taking the VE24V out of the 76 and putting into the Excusion along with a 47RH. Both will be completely "stock" though. And possibly mate it up to my DLD I have laying around from my 96.

I confused. Your building a cummins excursion as well. ? Ryan is building one and your helping ? Not trying to hyjack the longhorn thread but this has me interested. We need a excursion thread . Even if it has to go in alternate tinkerings !!!!

Ahhh... Now I see. So if I paid attention in class.... the 76 was the crew cab that used to be for lack of a better term a monster truck ? It was getting a 24V ve pumped 5.9?? and a short box conversion? Now that is going in a Excursion ? With a dodge auto? What transfercase? Yep build thread required . I like where this is going. I'd love to buy one of those. They can be found up here in Ontario with gas power for a good deal . Much easier swap than trying to fit a 5.9 in a 02 suburban , maby????

Thanks for setting me straight 6L

Nick is helping Ryan

Ryan is starting another project because he hates working on the Longhorn, and got bored working on his car. Hehehe

I've got a 96 Ford D60. Too bad they won't fit.

The D50 will be plenty for this unit. I'm more than likely keeping it in there. There's nothing wrong with the operation other than gears. But, I have until winter to worry about that.

RatRod68 · 05-01-2013, 07:02 AM

Man you guys do some amazing work. I just went through your thread Nick and wow. I would love to have my 99 with a P7100. It has way too many electrical gremlins right now to worry about modding though. Still trying to get all the bugs worked out.

Negative. I was talking about your 96 Ram. I wish I had a P7100 conversion on my 99 dodge.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-01-2013, 04:25 PM

Today I cut out the rear boxing plates, fit them, beveled them and the frame edges, cut the frame flange so it's straight now, welded the old suspension bolt holes shut from the inside, and tacked the boxing plates in. I'll finish welding it tomorrow and move to in front of the gooseneck tomorrow.

ryanroo · 05-01-2013, 10:38 PM

And you were mad at me for hoarding them! i dont doubt the 50 will be fine. but who could resist a step up if the opportunity presents itself! and you know if you wait till winter you will get stuck trying to shim a pinion outside in the snow the night before you have to take the family to grandmas in a blizzard.

Str8-6-68 · 05-02-2013, 12:17 PM

Nice work Ryan, that makes me want to box in my frame.

Thanks. It'll be nice when done, but it sure is a lot of work.

RatRod68 · 05-02-2013, 05:10 PM

What's the reason for boxing the frame? (Just asking, not questioning)
