Well, I do have some awesome news to report, I found a 1991.5 Dodge Ram with a Cummins 12 valve, This is the inter cooled model, it all looks perfectly rebuildable for 1200.00!

Looks like pretty soon the Boss Hoss may just be blowing black smoke!

As well, I am looking at buying a whole front suspension out of a 1995 1 ton dually as well, if things go right I will be picking that up in Houston after the BBQ/truck show in Austin on the 5th! I will be stuffing this suspension with the Aluminum A-Arms under the front end of the truck with new bushings and what not. I figure it will be the perfect setup because parts for the 95 suspension are going to be much easier to come by, in stock in most cases, and with the hydra boost system out of the truck, it is going to make all the difference in the world.

If everything goes right, I will be rocking and rolling here soon and hopefully by the end of the summer, the truck will be painted bagged, and converted to a diesel, with the frame fully boxed up and an air conditioning system to keep me cool. One thing is for sure, this summer is gonna be fun!
