1965 chevy bbw cummins powered
I copied all this from my thread on the cummins forum. Just thought I'd share It with this forum. I've always liked the old 60-66 chevy body style, and I've always loved diesels, so i thought i'd upgrade my old chevy.. I'm new on this site and just want to say I love reading this forum.... this is a great site full of info... thanks

Re: 1965 chevy bbw cummins powered
If you look close you can see how tight it was to get the intercooler in there..I ended up fabbing the 1991 dodge lower rad support together with the 1965 chevy top.. this picture is right after i backed it out of the shop Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 1965 chevy bbw cummins powered
Very cool swap!! I did not know they had the same wheelbase. Any issues with the doghouse on the fire wall?

Re: 1965 chevy bbw cummins powered
What cab mounts did you use and what were your measurements. Excellent job.
