Trevor, very nice! That has to feel great!

**dutchmanz** · 02-24-2016, 06:39 PM

I like the Custom Camper emblem on the 4th door. The whole truck is amazing. I want a crew cab! (In addition to 30 or so other cars/trucks)

doubleb's69 · 03-02-2016, 11:31 AM

The truck is coming along great! You have some skills.

trukzguy · 05-01-2016, 03:23 AM

Great build, keep it up. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Okiefromwatonga · 08-29-2016, 06:27 PM

Ok, just read the whole thing and im subed. I want to make a 3 door Extebded cab for my GMC 5500

Rednwhitec20 · 09-14-2016, 10:00 AM

Any updates on that old girl? Jealous of the crew cab! Also what are your plans for the front shaft to clear? You mentioned using the chevy front with the np205.

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-14-2016, 08:22 PM

Nothing since March.... I bought an 89' V3500 or K30 crew cab to drive until I finished the 72'. What started as just a cheap teuck, I can't leave well alone. Turned it into a resto with the whole 9. Lift, tires, wheels, nv4500 swap, shortening the wheelbase etc.
The old girl is sitting right now.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-14-2016, 09:17 PM

I'm glad to see I'm not the only project hound.

Sounds like a nice project Trevor!

Rednwhitec20 · 09-14-2016, 11:17 PM

Wish I had enough funds for multiple projects

nice trucks!

I have 3 projects, and I don't have enough for 1!

Nice Trevor, that's how our K30 build started quick & easy!

Bagd72Chevy · 12-19-2016, 05:36 PM

Such a nice build. Never found this one before.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-19-2016, 06:20 PM

Trevor the truck looks great! Quick question, are the rear window roll-up mechanisms the same as the front door? Thanks,

Rob

Hey Rob, sorry I missed your question months ago. The regulator's are the same, but the linkage is way different.

**rgreathouse** · 02-21-2017, 11:00 PM

amazing build! any updates? and question, for the 4th door does a front door body line match or did you have to modify? it appears the upper body line on a stock front door tappers down.

great work!

**rgreathouse** · 05-15-2017, 05:02 PM

any updates? looking good! Did you use a drivers side front rocker for the 4th door rocker?

**71blksuper4x4** · 05-15-2017, 10:14 PM

No new progress, been working on a CJ10a jeep. It's a factory diesel jeep.
I think I remember taking a passenger and a driver side rocker panel to make the fourth rocker.

7dee2 · 05-16-2017, 09:09 AM

That's pretty kool!

Farm Shop · 05-24-2017, 08:51 AM

Awesome build!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-24-2017, 03:19 PM

Nice Jeep! Which engine is in it? My brother's friend had a wagoner with one in it.

Ryan, sorry I missed your reply. It is the Nissan SD33.

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-04-2017, 06:32 PM

I am wanting to keep this truck lower than most of my builds. This has lead to the decision of finding a HP 78-79 F*Rd Dana 60. I found a clean one local to me and bought it. He also had a F*Rd np205. They share the same big bearing as the Cummins Np205. Thus, I can swap input shafts to change this one from 31 spline to the 29 spline.

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-04-2017, 09:03 PM

I also ordered a new adapter since my dodge passenger clocking ring would now not work for my new setup. I was lucky enough to have found a gentleman who had a whole package including the adapter, input shaft (29 spline), gaskets, rear mount, etc. that he never used on a project. So I was able to pick that up for about 1/2 price.
