Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I kinda posted my car pics up to show I have enough crap that's lowered. I look forward to something I don't have to lay down to get in. The truck is meant to be my car hauler and is a budget build. I like the fact that not everybody dose the step side, Its beefy and sexy at the same time , like me. Right Jeff! :eek:

I just ordered the crossmember for a 89-93 12v swap. What transmission should I be looking to install? It's going to be my daily driver and used to tow my boat, not much more than that.

Do you want auto or manual?

[QUOTE=Dieselwrencher;5325151]Do you want auto or manual?[/QUOTE

I want an automatic. My mechanic wants to make this swap as simple as possible, he doesn't want to get into critical wiring, this being his first diesel swap. I'm overhelmed with all the info on these swap sights.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

A518 auto from an early 90s Cummins truck.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

47rh from a 1994 or 1995 dodge cummins is the way to go then. If you or your mechanic need info or help let me know and I'll help you out.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

thanks for the info guys. gonna start craiglisting for parts.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

x2 on the 47RH if you wanna go with an automatic with the overdrive.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

HEY! I have a twin to that truck. I always thought it would look cool too. If you are interested,(assuming it has cab & chassis rearend) we widened the bed 5 inches, so when lowering time comes, the fenders will clear nicely. and it does not look to altered. if I can figure out how to do the picture thing, I will post. anyway your truck will and does look cool !! keep posting updates please!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

sorry, i just noticed the "not lowering" it post. so this info will be in case you change your mind.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Thanks Mang, I'm gettin a lotta haters on the truck. lol I love that! I'll keep building the truck to my "Odd" taste and we'll see what happens. :ito:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Not sure i'm feeling the 19.5's, but whatever floats ur boat, more power to ya!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

How does it ride now? It looks better than I imagined it would.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Rides like a one ton truck with 75 PSI inflated load range F tires on it. Didn't ride that bad before, but the ****ty ****ty ****ty tires on it before were under-inflated. I'll report back when i get some more miles on it.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Those are different!
I'm guessing tire selection is very limited?
Do you have any pics without the hub caps on the wheels?

x2! those are not what I'm lookin for. those look newer?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Are you looking for dual or single wheel?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

The wheels are home made, they started life as dually wheels. They look like regular eight lug steel wheels under the hub caps because the centers of the wheels came from a set of Dodge wheels. The tires are 8R19.5's, not sure of the range of tires available in that size. I've been told this set up is amazing in the snow, so I may pick up some 16's with big tires for the summer and just run these in the winter.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

A dual wheel, Frito Lay style, like the ones on v30crewcab's truck

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I don't know how bad you want them or how hard they are to find but, I'm fairly certain I saw a set of 6 or 7 on st Louis craigslist with brand new tires. I know it's a long way from you but might be worth looking at?
