Project OVERKILL - Ppump 24v Fummins swap started

[DEMON44]

I hand picked those rims out of a local truck wreckers yard. believe me they were rough to start with.

 

[DEMON44]

can be moved to the driveway forum? cause that where it still is........



I love these BTW

Ur truck has to be the most bad ass truck I have seen. I am building the twin truck to urs i cant wait to see it done. It is good to see that some one has good taste in trucks

 

[DEMON44]

haha thanks. it always seems that if you want anything done right, you've got to do it yourself 'eh!

 

[noJeepshere]

Any progress pics?

 

[DEMON44]

I've got some pretty skookum stainless body mounts for the chevy to ford marriage.

progress stopped for a long while there. got tired of working on it. got sidetracked on my other projects. getting focused again to kick its ass this fall though. got my garage insulated getting a free furnace to burn the natural gas to take the edge off. all systems go.

Its awesome, I want to drive it.

 

[chevy_mudslut]

cant wait to see that thing done .

 

[DieselWarrior]

Scribed for the diesel

Is that a 6BT? (IDK)

I wouldnt mind even having a 4BT slid in place of my 62 when she dies. But, I couldnt aford it, and Im too stupid to do it myself.

 

[DEMON44]

heres the 2 rear mounts anyways, to get an idea.

 

[Nazarethk5]

awesome build man. your last few posts with pictures dont work though. you should throw a dt466 in there with an allison

 

[DEMON44]

ah no. I don't need an international the 6B cummins is more than capable. and I just don't like automatics. I can put one behind a cummins too, with a SAE flywheel housing. they came in tons of med duty crap like that.


now if I really wanted to do something stupid I have a 685 hp Detroit Series 60 core kicking around..............but lets not go there I get enough dumb ideas all on my own




thanks though. the truck is going to kick ass when it comes to completed stage

so what r u doing with ur adaptersfor the semi rims would be planning on selling them

 

[DEMON44]

I sold that 8 to 10 adapter set already.

 

[chevy_mudslut]

too bad i would have bought them

 

[DEMON44]

I sold the 6 rims, 6 tires, 4 adapters and 40 lug nuts as a set. they went fast. easier for me to sell as a set, cause the tires were no good for the big 4x4 F450 chassis and the adapters are obviously the wrong pattern. so as a set it went. I can do up another set when the time comes. I think 24.5" next time though. its almost cheaper to go this way with big rig rubber than buy 6 new 19.5's. those 19.5 tires are easily 2x the cost of most 22.5.

 

[chevy_mudslut]

what ever u do it will look clean i loved the look of ur truck with the 22s on it im trying to track down rims and adapters but the adapters seem to be more expensive than the rims i have found I have seen a few sets for sale but they are for the new ford bolt pattern. Have u looked ate the direct bolt on wheels from american force

 

[DEMON44]

well late on the updates. since being oncall 24/7 for pretty much the whole year so far. very little progress was being made. and with a daunting amount of work still ahead to scratch build a whole truck basically. I went and bought a loaded 2006 F350 crewcab SRW.

going to be WAY less work in the end to destroke this and put the F450 diffs under it. I am going to single wheel the big diffs. found an outfit in Indiana iirc that builds a set of rims to single wheel the F450/550 and dodge 4500/5500s as a bolt on rim.


so I can end it here now if you can't stomach seeing a superduty body. or I'll keep shooting pics in as things move forward. which should be rapidly this time.

 

[bftank]

I say keep going, i'm not prejudice.

 

[Avery4jc]

Keep it coming... it's not our fault chevy forgot how to build a truck past '91 so bring on the Ford pics.

 

[Slapperbar]

Bring it!
