Hi all,

First Cummins (not my first Mopar though) - work started on it last year.

Started with blasting, powder coating the frame after checking the alignment -



Every body panel was either replaced, or patched & straightened -



Since the motor had just 88k miles on it, just some minor valve adjustment, and a few fresh gaskets/seals, along with checking bearing clearances -



New floor panels, roof skin & reworked rain gutters, then everything primered/sanded multiple times, and sprayed with Eastwood's SubLime urethane enamel + top coat clear -









Interior was restored, bombed and all connections cleaned & Ox-Garded -



New carpets, door membranes, panels, interior trim & seat reupholstered -

part 2

All braking components the transfer case & axles were rebuilt with NOS parts (OK, the front pads are PFC carbon metallic)

Spicer Life U-joints all around after balancing the driveshafts. NOS springs & mounting hardware went on next.

The tranny was rebuilt with Red Eagle/Kolene & a slightly tighter converter. A Transgo shift kit was installed, and the system refilled with Amsoil's Synthetic ATF.



Motor was run on some decade old Amsoil 15W40 and a Fleetguard filter for a while, then drained & refilled with Amsoil HDD 5W-30 & an EaO filter.

Diffs & NP205 got fills of Severe Gear 75W90, and the cooling system got a Cummins double jiggle pin stat + Mopar HOAT in an NOS radiator, with a factory clutch & fan.

Dayco tensioner assembly + Dayco Gold Belt went on next - I see I will spend more time with a 1/2" drive on this motor.



Bilsteins all around -



Homebrew bedliner - 6 spray cans of rubberized gravel guard -



5 year old Interstate gave up this winter, so a 1150cca Odyssey went in with ring terminals all around -



Some bling went on when I was salvaging the parts bins for my 81 W150 -



Gotta break up the 6 acres of SubLime -





Not many mods so far - just a wastegated 14cm housing with a Banks BHA; used brake line routed along the firewall to plumb into the drivers side intake -



It's been my daily driver since Christmas, liking it so far.

Going to install gauges as I'm curious what it runs at before I start fueling it.

Oh I almost forgot. My wife wants me to paint mine sublime and black now

oliver foster

Yeah I love that color as well.
The black dash looks slick as well.
The truck looks great!

I literally painted my bedroom a very similar shade of green.
I went with a shade of green that matched the Sassy Grass green Mopar used.
It goes great with the Plum Crazy purple room my daughter has and our Mopar orange bathroom.
The bathroom is complete with a chrome '92 Dodge truck driver's side door mirror over the sink.

Sounds like a house I could live in but I gotta see that bathroom mirror.

Diggin' all the green.

McK - Tina at Genos cut me some hood stripes from the same roll as the Cummins Bee set.
Oliver - time to mix a batch of water based Plum Crazy for the pups :-)

I LOVE that color.
Did my 77 conversion 7 Years ago and still love the color

Thanks man.

Dumped in a pair of Trucklite LED headlamps - here's a frontal next to the F350 I picked up last week.

oliver foster

Looking good.
How are the LED lights at night?

Did my box of OEM bolts arrive yet?

ofelas

They are excellent. I use them on all the vehicles. Not yet - when did you send out ?

oliver foster

Thursday.

Got the sound system installed.

Ended up going with an Infinity IV AM/FM/cassette/CD, and put Infinity 6x9s in the doors, and used 6x9 adaptor brackets to mount 6.5" Infinity's behind the seat. I had to tack weld a couple extra studs on the rear seat grilles to mount the 6x9 adaptors, as the factory studs don't work in this setup.

Looks factory, the sound is much nicer now. Didn't go with bass boxes/subwoofers as I listen to country & classic rock.

SRV never sounded so good in this truck before.
