Farewell Detroit . . . .

[Wrench]

I picked up my first Dodge truck yesterday, a 1991 W250 CTD with a five speed.

It's not intercooled, but . . . the getrag was recently replaced with an NV4500, meaning I get both the NV4500 and the 29-spline NP205 with one truck
Engine has about 160K miles on in with new injectors. Both the tranny and t-case were rebuilt in the last two years.

The engine, tranny, tcase are going into my '82 CC, the remainder will be parted out.

I'm pumped

Nice find, I have lots of time and $$ putting my drivetrain togeather. Is your 91 4wd & how much was it?

I'm gonna assume you're talking about 84CUCV's '91 and not mine If not, read the first post again ....

By any chance are you interested in doing a complete detailed write up on the swap?

How much?

 

[Wrench]

I paid $2700, or about $2500 US.

I'll try to document the conversion thoroughly but I have this tendency of forgetting the camera when things start going nicely. I've already been driving the dodge around and tweaking the pump, it's a lot of fun :-).

pUT UP A PIC OF THE 'OL GIRL!

Here she is

And this is what's getting the drivetrain . . . . those are H1 wheels on dually axles with 35" BFG M/T KO's and nothing but a 1" body lift . . ..

dang, I've gotta learn to resize my pictures . . . .

I like the big pics, but I'm not a moderator.. lol That's an awesome score! Does that have a front D60 too?

I had a '78 3/4t GMC with no lift and 35's. Fairly rusty fenders.... I was trying to get 33's but the guy at the tire shop talked me into 35's. Funny how 35's don't look that big on a FS.

Yep it does, kingpin 60 up front identical to a Chev 60 front. Only difference is the spring mounts are .5" farther apart, and the TRE mount sits an inch or so higher on the knuckle.

I figure it was a pretty good deal
