Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I almost forgot, I did get some more parts for this truck. Today I got some 6x9 speakers for it for Christmas, and a 67-72 chevytrucks decal and wall clock from my wife. Pretty sweet! And I will be once again changing the drive train of this truck. My bro and dad will be taking the drag car to Texas for a race in April. I can't see taking this truck apart in March to remove the engine for the corvette since the Longhorn might get painted. I'd rather put it together and keep going. Not swap another engine in and scratch it all up. With that being said and done, I'm going back to the beginning (Kind of) of this build. I'm going to use my 99 NV4500 and more than likely rebuild a 5.9 for it. Which one is unknown right now. I can go 12v but would rather go 24v just because.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I can say one thing for sure, I'm getting really tired of looking at the parts mess I have for this truck. It's every where..........................................

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Sounds like you have a plan for the drivetrain. You better get it installed before you change your mind again. Looking forward to some pics. You can't just talk about cool parts on here you know that

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
When they show up he will probably have pics and then have to find a place to store it til the trucks out of the body shop and whichever engine is put together for it...

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
No progress but I did land a floor shift column. We cleared the shop of parts for this truck to be able to try and use the south bay of our shop again.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
hey diesel, you wouldn't happen to have a spare 5.9 and an autotransmission laying around or at least a recommendation do you? just tossing around the idea for my truck. i still have my 396 but haven't rebuilt it yet. would be nice to get close to 20mpg.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
You'd have to buy an adapter plate to bolt a TH350 behind a cummins to be able to bolt a TH350 on to it. I have some engines, and some dodge auto trannies that wouldn't require an expensive adapter plate.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
i'm alright with using a properly built dodge auto od. i just meant adapting the chevy np205 to the dodge transmission. I wouldn't mind a 5sp but don't know how the wife would like that.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I have to thank my brother for going to on a big road trip for me to bring back the truck's new box and fuel tanks. They are super clean! Also, the body man came Saturday night and got the door latches and striker plates so he can latch the doors to start the body work. Hopefully he'll make some progress soon.

The bed came with all the floor braces, numbered in order, tailgate, the sides, and the trim minus a very small piece of trim.
