the fat mat was easy to install and sticks great I would use it. I just started my cummins up in the truck and it is just as quiet as a new truck.

SBTork · 05-12-2010, 01:35 AM

cool, I think I will order some. Thanks a lot, and keep plugging away.

USSkoval · 05-12-2010, 09:25 PM

Any reason you are using a vacuum brake booster, rather than hydroboost?

Devillusion · 05-14-2010, 06:11 PM

great build, will stay tuned for sure!

svgould · 05-15-2010, 06:37 PM

Can you provide more details on frame modifications needed to install the cummins? thanx

I hate the way those hydraboost systems always seem to leak when I own them.

I used the front crossmember out of the dodge I got the engine from. and I used some 2x6" 1/8" wall tubbing and plated the outside of the frame so I could cut some of the c channel away on the topside. probably wouldn't have to do this if it didn't have A/C.

Very nice truck! This truck was dang nice before the resto! Nice job on the cummins swap as well. Do you plan on running an intercooler on it?

Yeah I plan on running an intercooler I have been measuring a few of them and have heard that the second gen dodge one works good. do you have any input on that?

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-20-2010, 05:02 PM

Yes it does. In fact I put one in my little brother's 1984 chevy. Let me find you a link for a few pics.

The pics of the intercooler are near the bottom of the thread on the first page. If you need measurements or more pics, let me know. The truck is still at the body shop and I can get more pics because the intercooler is out of the support.

I redesigned my down pipe this last weekend now it has 4" mandrel bent pipe from the turbo back with no muffler. I painted it flat black and dumped it by the rear tire. I will get pics up shortly.

496 chevy · 06-15-2010, 11:24 PM

I just finished painting under the truck with some chasis black rust prevenative paint. finshed up the rearend, put on my new wheels and tires, and mounted a duramax intercooler. let me know what you think hope you like it.

*JCampbell* · 06-15-2010, 11:32 PM

Nice.

Seven9er · 06-16-2010, 10:38 AM

sexy. I would love to do something like this, but the wife and my garage wouldnt have it ha.

STOCKISH · 06-16-2010, 03:57 PM

I have not been this jealous in a long time. I really want a crew 4x4. Very nice work and a good choice on the Cummins.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-16-2010, 03:59 PM

Looking very nice! was the dmax intercooler hard to come up with?

The D max intercoooler was pretty easy to find got it from ebay for around $200.00 All I had to do is trim the ears off the edges and all most of the mounts. installed a stainless steel billet style grille that I got from ebay it fits nice real thin profile.

496 chevy · 07-16-2010, 01:29 AM

here are some of the latest pictures of the things I have been doing. finally painted the rest of the truck and building bumpers. I hope to get the bumpers painted this weekend. hope you like the pics.

496 chevy · 07-16-2010, 01:35 AM

Shes getting pretty close just waitin on a few parts in the mail maybe another week or so.

1985-GMC · 07-16-2010, 01:47 AM

I like that front bumper, I want to do something like that except maybe wrap around a little on the sides.

*BGRAFX* · 07-16-2010, 09:29 AM

This is a cool Crew! Keep up the good work

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-16-2010, 03:24 PM

It's looking awesome! I love your bumpers! Do you have any pics of the begining of the front?

joe231 · 07-16-2010, 04:00 PM

Very cool man!
I love it!
Only thing I would change is I would make it a short bed

Got any close-ups of how you did the upper shock mounts on the rear?

Davidmichael · 07-16-2010, 04:05 PM
