After seeing all these round light trucks, I might have to sell my suburban front clip and go back with a round light clip. :lol:

who with the what now?

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

Well I am surprised to learn a Dana44HD out of a half ton would stand up to any abuse, especially a big block in the mud. Maybe you've built it to make it tough? I've never had a Ford but I have broken numerous 1/2 and 3/4 ton Dana axles and components. Don't really do any wheeling anymore, but even so I won't buy anything but 1 ton now.
Like I said, if you build up (fuel and programmer) the Cummins then they are amazing. What I said was if your not going to mod it, it's not really worth doing. Maybe just as a towrig, but who among us can leave anything alone anyway? Not trying to start a battle by bashing Cummins, but I have to tolerate a lot of it with my alleged "POS" motor. So allow me to try to rephrase this so it's a little less offensive.
12v Cummins stock= bone
24v Cummins stock= kind of a bone
24vHO 01 and up Cummins stock=not a bone
built Cummins of either head design= definitely not a bone.

Maybe I'm the wrong person to talk to about Cummins anyway, because I can't stand the way they sound. V8 gas or diesel sounds better thru some nice pipes.

OK, back to the pics of crewcabs now!

btw, just finished putting the first coat on the passenger side. Looking good all one color again!

Here are some pics of mine, this was during the trip back north to Ohio from going down to North Carolina to pick it up. We made a pit stop at Bristol on the way home. All this was done on a Sunday. 8 hours drive there and 8 hours back. Weather was perfect to be driving through some of the most beautiful countryside, made the long trip all worth while.

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

sorry for pic size not sure how to make bigger, pics took on droid phone. any input would be great on how to change size

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

im not taking any offense from this, but where you say that the 12 valve cummins stock is a bone, thats a double edged sword, i have been working on the early model cummins trucks since i was 10 and i too first thought that they were absolute dogs that was until my dads buddy tunned the pump in my dads crew cab. we were getting roughly 12 mpg and only running 13 psi of boost. about 3 seconds of adjustments later we were pushing about 30 psi and after driving it we found out that we were getting around 25-28 mpg. just that tunning gave us in excess of 100 hp in the truck, dodge from the factory couldnt really do this due to emissions and other issues so they detunned the engine. im not trying to drag this on or anything i just cant see adding those upgrades when i could do this and run it fine without as much wear and tear on the stock internals with a bigger turbo and fuel system

and that dana 44 had been built for desert racing (i.e. 100+mph jumps) what they did was they stripped it bare and heated the axle tubes up and slid a chromoly shaft inside of them, when it cooled down the 2 metals basically welded themselves together then they slid chromoly axleshafts back in, there was only about 1/16 of an inch of clearance but it was enough so they drove it into the ground then upgraded what was needed as they went. they eventually wound up flipping the truck about 12 or 13 times and totalled it,they pulled the engine then assumed the axles were junk and gave the rest of the truck to my dad and i. i measured them every which way that i could and they are straight as an arrow so i figured if they can survive that than they will survive a mild cummins build without issues. all that i did to them was put some different wheels and tires on

and congrats on getting some color on your truck, im glad to see that people are still willing to keep these trucks alive

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

Guys, please read the title of this thread. The word Cummins or diesel, not in it. Thanks.

Dammit, I hate this...I need to unsubscribe from this thread...but my right hand won't let me operate the mouse properly when I try to...

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

this is my truck today, with 2 thin coats of gloss black rustoleum on the passenger side. Looks so much better than it did with black bed, grey primer doors, and black and red fender. I put a little black on the front wheel, and was cleaning the rear wheel so its real white now. I plan on going with gloss black wheels with chrome rings and centercaps. But what do you think about white wheels, along with maybe a white roof? Wish I knew how to photoshop.

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

Personally, I'd go with black through and through with some tinted wondows.

That blue crew is saweet!!!!!

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

Someone needs to sell their Crew...I have an itch...

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

Finally starting something with mine, thinking flat black for the body, and wanted a bright orange for the wheels, but the closest I saw was this that looks like a construction cone, and the tires are all going to be changed anyways. My nickname for this is now 40 oz Crew.

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

i knew they were out there :D

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

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

White wheels and roof skin! I think it would look great.

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

arrrggggggggg you f*ck nut...you got the truck i've been dreaming about. this was posted on page 20 or 21, post 200-something. well, congrats :metal:
if you don't mind me asking what did you get it for. and when (if) you get tired of it let me know, i'll give it a good home.

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

i guess you bought it from your friend. i went back and it was post 211 and a few after that. at that point in time it was for sale for $10,000.

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

i got it in trade..but i would say i have about 10 in it, i dont think i will get tired of it but if i do it will be on here for sale...but i dont think that is going to happen

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

I can look past the blue interior, as it is easy to change, but no power windows, locks, and the short bed is a killer...plus the engine looks like its been given zero attention in comparison to the paint...Too much work for the price and distance! Thanks though!

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

Your truck is lookin good Joe! Keep it up

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

dmrecksiek, you are right. That paint color is about the closest to a construction cone I have ever seen. I'm gonna grab a 40 this afternoon myself. :lol:

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

Thanks Willie!!

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

cummins are super eazy to get 350-400 rwhp and 800ft and still get 20 + mpg so why not put a cummins in it

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

Mr.Chevyblack, the truck in your avatar looks awesome! I do have to change my story on my previous post..........................

I just finished a 24v head gasket job. Granted the truck has 281,000 on the original engine, but stock it is a pooch. :lol: But, it gets over 20mpg. :lol: You can still keep your BBC. :lol:
