Cummins 5.9 in 73-87 , 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**crossy** · 06-29-2005, 02:44 PM

I know this subject has been brought up a few times. I saw a CLEAN,but involved installation last year at local show,but did not want to talk about it because I didn't take good pics. this year the guy was back and was courteous enough to let me take good pics. I also took some mental notes but those are not worth the paper to print them! the pics are fairly small but it will still tie up my old slow PC for quite a while if i send them, but anyone who is serious about doing such a swap can Email me at all4trux@snip.net.

DON'T FORGET TO PUT "73-87 CUMMINS PROJECT" IN THE SUBJECT BOX OR I'LL DELETE IT.. I GET WAY TOO MUCH SPAM MAIL to guess what it's about.

I downsized & brightened up all the pics and details are clear. all underhood shots were taken by just holding the camera up in the air(I did good though!). this thing sat so high that it was the only way I could get any pics at all underhood. I have about a dozen total. DAVE

the intercooler is so tight in the front grille that the stock turn signals could not even be used. I would go with 81-82 set up in the bumper. BTW the truck/burb?? is a 5 speed.
