Re: My 83 Crew Cab Short Bed

Yeah, I'm not settling for anything less than the dream between my ears or else I'll just be dissappointed. For instance, I know the Cummins is a great engine - I've oned one in 96 Dodge 2500 EC LB 4x4. There is absolutely no denying they are or can be absolute beasts of an engine and run dang near forever even at higher HP levels (mine had 300K on the clock when I sold it to a guy to become a pulling truck). And it would be much MUCH simpler to do the Cummins conversion especially with the multiple write-ups and kits available today for them. But I simply can't do it because I just wouldn't be satisified with it even if it turned out to be the baddest MF'er around because it's not what my dream is.

So yeah, I'm sticking to the original plan even if it becomes a "lifetime" project in order to do so.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
