I just started this. Let me know what you think. There is a bunch of work that still needs to be done but it's getting there.

88bagedntaged · 09-01-2011, 01:53 PM

Mattman2010 · 09-01-2011, 04:10 PM

Are you running a D44 in the front? If so this is exactly what I am doing with my crew cab. I am doing all the body work now so it has taken me a while. I like the truck though it looks cool!

Yes Sir, it is a 44. It's a 3/4 ton model but the hub were gone when I got it, so I had to settle for 6 lug so I could drive it. I am currently looking for 8 lug hubs to carrie 1 spare !

Thank You !! I can't tell you how many times I have been HOOTED at, or been yelled at an an intersection !! These Crew Cabs are head turners for sure !! Your truck looks tough as well !! I like the wheels you have... how deep they are ! I am thinking of getting mine like that for the front. I was going for the Dodge 1 ton sled pullers when they take of the Dually adapters from the front and run a standard wheel, I think those look tough !!

88bagedntaged · 09-01-2011, 04:54 PM

Here is a little build tally !

Truck- 1000.00 + 80 gallon stand up air compressor.
Doner R30- 100.00 bucks
Sold red bed and 14 bolt rear end for 340.00 " That was the compressor"
Front end set up- 100.00 1975 Chevy 3/4 ton. Cut off at the fire wall.
Total parts as of today: 1867.53.
1999 Chevy van that happly donated its A/C and interior. 400.00

Shop stuff and brica brak ! no Idea !

That really bites ! 3367.53 and I don't even have it painted yet !

Mr. 250r · 09-01-2011, 05:01 PM

Tons of pics. I will get them loaded up. As for the 44 I have not had a transfe case hooked to it yet. I have been in search for the right parts for a while, and my buddy 67_ss396 hooked me up wit what I needed to get this thing done. I also have accuired a Rock crawler fom him as well. I will try to throw some of those pics on here as well !

Mr. 250r · 09-06-2011, 12:47 AM

I'd like some pics and info on the swap as well i have the axles and all the tools and a shop to do the stuff just wanting to know what has to be done is the 2wd frame any different up front etc. give us the pics! lol

88bagedntaged · 09-06-2011, 08:52 AM

88bagedntaged · 09-06-2011, 08:54 AM

88bagedntaged · 09-06-2011, 11:00 AM

Got the NP205 Divorced Transfer Case finished up this weekend thanks to 67_SS396, He hooked me up with what I needed ! Thank You Sir !!

88bagedntaged · 09-09-2011, 11:48 AM

Well I got the Crawler home last night !!!!! The best part is it's a chevy !!

I will include a build thread when that takes off. Here is a pic though of what it looked like, I bought it striped down a little but it won't take long to get it back to this !!!

The faces have been changed to protect the ........... ? Hmm?

67_SS396 · 10-12-2011, 11:12 PM

I would say that's a good score. The turbo and manifolds are worth what you gave IMO. I still chuckle that you had all those parts in the trunk of that little car.

. It won't be a speed demon, but should have enogh power to keep you happy for a while. The increase in mileage will make it all worthwhile buddy. Keep that in mind.

The trans would've gone quicker had they not put the wrong package of springs and plugs in the box.

Rayn my friend you don't worry about the time that trans took, you have helped me out more than anyone should have too! Thanks buddy.

88bagedntaged · 10-17-2011, 08:48 AM

Well it was on OK, weekend. Bad news for the 6.2 the IP is bad, so I'm looking into getting it rebuilt. Here are some pics.

67_SS396 · 09-12-2011, 11:53 PM

I can't wait to help this thing get back on the trails. It was a VERY capable rig in it's day. I'm sure you'll make it even better.
