Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
Thanks guys haha love your comments!
The front sulastics added about 2 inches of lift to the front and nothing to the rear which i had to add blocks.. They are not intended for front axles but i made it work, which was more work then was probably worth it... Had to brace the rear leaf shackles, add 8 degree shims, and a 3rd link. Looking back i wish i would've went with a coil conversion. The intercooler is from a 95 2nd gen dodge. To avoid cutting the lights i'd have to gut the core support wouldn't I? I'm trying to keep as much clearance from the injection pump cover so i can quickly change the adjustable timing gear.. Sorry i don't have any updated pics yet but were in the middle of harvest so there's no such thing as spare time ![]() |

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
This will be a awsone build to watch I live the square bodys I've owned a bunch of them.
I'm infor the ride. I would probably trade my 70 if I could find a nice 4X4 square body.

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
Here's an update, got the roll cage finished. Didn't turn out too bad for the first one i've ever built.. A lot of welding burns but it was worth it. The last guy with this motor died, I don't want to be the 2nd!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And got the paint tested mailbox, turned out sweet!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
Does your cage go to the frame or is it just in the cab?

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
LOL Thanks guys!
The cage is just welded to the cab floor where the cab braces are. Got the rear Ford King Ranch seats mounted yesterday, took most of the day.. Bought a 5x50" 3/16ths plate, drilled and welded bolts to it and welded it to the floor. Then made another plate for the front support braces which had to be shortened which restricted the distance the seats folded forward. But at least they still fold forward so I can access the amp and subs which should fit nicely. Thanks for the comments! Here's some pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap

Re: 89 crew cab k20 4wd twin turbo cummins swap
Thanks guys,
I don't know how well the shackles will work yet until i drive the truck. I would definitely recommend them for the rear and they won't add any lift. But as for the front do a coil conversion. I wish i would've looking back, it was a lot of screwing around to make them work. Here are some pics my painter sent me, ![]() ![]() ![]() I made this crude picture to give me an idea of how the paint i want will look, ![]() The Mickey Thompson 16x12" rims came in.
