Re: 72 Cummins swap
Back to your original post. I don't blame you for removing the tank from the cab but you won't gain any more room to move the seat back. All the seats always hit the cab above the tank before they hit the tank. Unless you want a seat that sits at a 90 degree upright there's nothing to gain

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Not sure if I'm going to use the factory tank or not for sure yet. But was thinking more of room for some speaker boxes. Try to hear over the diesel noise. Speaking of that is anyone running a flowmaster diesel muffer and what does it sound like. Got a 4 inch on mine and sounds cool but not sure under load what it sounds like.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Ok just didn't want you getting your hopes up! But yes that space is definitely useable for something.
Also you said your using a cummins from a 93? From my limited time in the diesel world but aside from the looks of a 4" I don't think you will gain anything performance wise from it. I thought that only mastered once you get up over 500-600 horse power or something. Just a thought maybe you can split it or something? Again I'm no diesel mechanic just throwing it out there |

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Very cool build. I am using fuel cell sitting in the bed of my truck. Might not be perfect for if you want to use your bed but would give you plenty of room for your exhaust. Good luck on your build

Ya thinking about building a tank to go under my toolbox. The old man already cut a hole in the bed for a bed tank. Playing with ideas.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Any updates? Very nice build! Also do you have any pictures of hood latch support mods and radiator support mods to run the second gen Intercooler?

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Finally got back to this project this past weekend. Still working on the cab. Cutting out the rust and welding in new panels. Been busy stocking the freezer with salmon. Did get some time to get these. Figuring on mounting them in the pillar.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Nice gauges. Salmon huh, what river do you get them out of? That sure sounds good to have in the ol freezer.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
74 nova. 425 + HP 383 SB. Ended up with a free car and had to build a cool engine for it. Its funny how a free project ends up costing a small fortune. Humm... Head scratcher.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Got the cab and doors all blocked out and almost ready for the paint booth just need one more final sand when I can find time. The upper radiator hoes was the 93 dodge hose with a bushing on the radiator and cut and extended in the middle and the lower hose was a John Deere hose off a tractor. Cant remember what one. I have it wrote down in my notes somewhere if interested.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
Figured I would give a update. Paint is about done and still fitting body panels. Looking for a outer grill. Got the air filter and exhaust on. Also looking for wheels and tires. Will 35"s fit with only a 4" lift? Slowly making some progress.

Re: 72 Cummins swap
That is looking great! I've seen a lot of pics with 4" lifts and 35s on these. I'd give it a try. You're just 2 pairs of zero rates away if you need an inch extra lift if they don't.
