Love the saddle interior, that seems pretty rare to me. Especially in a white truck. Looks gorgeous!

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

Quick question: I'm nearly ready for paint, and I'm thinking about painting it myself, always wanted to try. How much paint will I need for a crewcab longbed fleetside? I'm guessing about 2 gallons because it's so big, but I really have no idea. Truck is almost entirely black already, except for four grey primer doors. What's a good sturdy paint to use (black) that will stand up to working and winter driving? Never going to be a show truck, just want it to look halfway pretty and all one color.
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I figured it would be the quickest place to find someone who knows.

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

Love that truck Tyler. Can you tell me the specifics on your bag setup? how much rear notch, did you do anything to the rear fenders...

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

the inside of the rear notch is 1 1/2 over the top of the frame i dont know what size that would make it and it is a parallel 4 link with panhard bar and bag behind axle. the front is just an an 8 inch i.d. pipe recessed into the lower arm. RE7's in front and RE8's in the back pretty simple setup.

I did not do anything to the rear fenders it would lay frame on a 32 tall tire and just barely clear the top of the dually fender i mean like 1/4 of an inch.
heres a picture of my notch right after i got it all together. i have since broke the driver side shock mount

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

I believe that they are the billet specialties talladega. They had a couple diff designs of that wheel. I looked at them when I got wheels for my nova. I ende up with intro twisted vista instead.

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

details and more pics please!
you have coils on the front?

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

how come its on the front of the truck do you think? unless he's carring two spares

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

i dont have very many more pictures of my truck on this computer, ill try to post some more when i get them. but the truck is sitting on 35x14.5x15's the front dana 44 is out of a 1977 ford 1/2 ton and the rear dana 60 is out of a mid 90's, i believe, dodge. the front does have coil springs with the ford spring buckets that have had a total of 7 or so inches cut out of them.the rear is a 4 inch spring lift with a 4 inch block. this set up brings the truck around to about an 8 inch lift. i had also went with the ford front axle because the truck will be getting a 24 valve cummins and an nv 4500/np 205 swap in its near future

the interior i have came out of my dads crew when he got newer stuff except for my 4 captains chairs which i got out of a dead astro van

i forgot to mention that i paid $250 for my cab as a 2 wheel drive, had a 4wd frame in our yard every thing else i have got from either vehicles that my father and i have collected or the scrap yard. so far the total bill for this truck is $415.83 that in cludes two 10 pound spools of welding wire that i bought for my dads wire feed

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

My next truck is going to be a 4x4 crew or Burb.

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

WoW!!!! Hell ya Brandon did you buy that off ebay

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

yea he did

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

I can understand the need to move the front diff to accomodate the t-case swap, but why would you use a half ton Ford 44? If you turn up the Cummins I don't know how much faith I'd have in that frontend holding up. And if you don't build the heck out of that Cummins then there's no reason to even bother. A built Cummins is really cool, but stock it's a boat anchor.
iirc the Ford D60 puts the front driveshaft where it belongs, no?

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

Maybe it's there to keep engine temps up, looks like it wouldn't let enough air through imo. I have two spares already, one on each side in the rear. I had another one underneath in the back, but its so tiny its not worth having.

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

In stock form its a boat anchor? :lol: Yeah, I don't know about that.

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

Sick!^ ..Need more pics!

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

after I wrote that I figured it would gain some sort of a response. I guess to be fair the newer HO Cummins are pretty darn stout, but as I was looking at his buildup I wasn't thinking about him putting a new motor in it, I was picturing it more along the lines of an older donor truck. Anything pre-01 was a dog in stock form, imo. If I couldn't build it up with twins and a monster fuel system, I'd just as soon leave it with a mild 454.

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

After having diesel trucks since I was 17, it would be so hard for me to go back to any gas powered truck. That's just my 2 cents. :lol: I love big blocks, but they love gas more than I love them, unless they're in a car. :lol:

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

my daily driver is a souped up diesel dually, been driving it for ten years and I love it, it's been the best truck I ever owned. Only complaint is not enough power, it's limited by indirect injection and injector pump. But I've done all that can be done to it, bigger turbo, computer, fuel system and pump, so forth. It's now on a par with a stock Duramax, but any modern diesel-with the massive aftermarket available- will put it away easy.

Since I've been wanting an oobs Chevy crewcab to restore for a long time, finally got one and thats how I ended up here. Like new low mileage 454, its a whole new experience again. Drove it tonight, just a little test drive around the neighborhood, and my 5 y/o (future truck builder) commented on how different it sounds and said he likes it.

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

Very cool. It is hard to beat the rumble of a healthy gas V-8.

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

@ detroit, i dont know where you have been but a 24 valve cummins with a programmer set on the fuel saver mode will still turn around 140 + mph, and that frontend will hold it because the ford that it came out of had a 729 hp 460 in it and that truck was only run in 4wd...wide open...all of the time. :tms: :lol:

however i do see your point as my dad has a 91 12 valve in his 82 chevy, sure its a turd but it is also stock and will still take every bit of abuse that i can throw at it (my dad uses it as a pavement princess and i see mud and proceed to stomp it dry) then hook up to a trailer and pull 4 times its weight at 70 mph comfortably. it is all in the tuning because the cummins in the dodge was an even bigger turd, why you might say, because dodge set them up for pulling and that is it. then the PO decided to crank the fuel screw on the pump all the way in and not touch the air mixture screw which=too much fuel and not enough air

sorry that was a bit of a tangent but the point had to be made :D

p.s. if you dont think that the early cummins can make power on a budget than you need to come to nevada and see my dads STOCK first gen cummins conversions, they can burn more rubber than the stock big block ever could

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

that plate was on my dads 82 half ton lots of good memories in that truck, i found the plates in the rafters about 2 months ago and he said that i could put them on my truck. i was dancing like this :four: his truck was a single cab but i saw a few pics of singles on here ill try to find some for yalls enjoyment.

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

as suprising as this may seem the truck has a 250 inline 6 :waah:
