Project: ____________________________

The bartering and parts collection has begun.

Buddy of mine (bought my first CCSB 4x4 project) graciously bartered with me over the past week or so on my K30 4x4 and K5 4x4, my GM NV4500 4x4 trans and a set of 9.00/16 tires I had on trade plus $200 cash for the following.


1995 Cummins 12V P pump with a pile of parts including intercooler
NV4500 hybrid (GM/Dodge) NV4500 with bellhousing and clutch
92 leaf sprung Dodge D60
T400 with 205 adapter (for trail rig)
2000 GM 14FF with disc
my already shortened shafts for the rear off my first project
63" leaf springs
some new parts for the cummins in the original packaging

....and of course his help/expertise throughout the build (priceless) being as the diesel world will be a whole new learning curve for me, but excited for sure.

I have a couple spare frames as well.......so current plan is to bring one of them home, get the 52/63 swap completed, get the rear shackle flip installed, diffs in, perches in the rear to be welded in when all together and weight is on them, get the cummins and driveline installed, frame shortened........then decide what will happen with the body from there.

There is the option of combining my CCSB projects and maybe the possability of putting my 2wd cab on that chassis and keeping the blue one for my trail rig. Can only keep so many...so...will see what happens. This way I'm not tearing down a perfectly good truck and wasting a bunch of build time and redundant efforts.

Nothing much to report unfortunately. Still collecting parts...and selling what I don't need. Traded the box to a buddy for some parts.
