81 chevy C10 CUMMINS conversion
Hi everybody
Im new here and i just want to share my 1st chevy-cummins Project on my 1981 2wd Chevrolet C10, im from Margarita Island - Venezuela and i think im the 1st person here doing this kind of conversión, actually when they see what im doing to my truck they say im a Little bit loco (crazy), i imported the motor and tranny from Miami last year. Im using a 1993 1st gen cummins 6BT 5.9 and a A518 (46rh) automatic transmission, 3" exaust pipe with 4" tip, rancho 5000 shocks, i lifted the truck 3", on the rear i used the block but in the front was a big pain in the butt because my truck is 2wd, i used 2" balljoint spacers that i made and 1" rubber spacers in the coil springs (hd coils), 2" body lift, a lot of extras-extras, a lot of work so far. Here are some pics Thanks sorry if my english writing is not that good. |
