Ok,

It looks quite different in that the diesel clip looks reinforced. The diesel clip has 2 holes to get to the nuts holding the clip to the frame where the D100 the nuts are wide open with no gusseting around it.

The diesel mounts are on a perch welded to the clip where the gasser looks like the mounts are right on the clip.

The D100 has either 5 or 6 lug wheels. And the rotors look quite a bit lighter.

Figured the D250 would have stronger front end components and brakes?

 

Oh, the whole frame and front suspension on a '92 diesel are way beefier. But it does not have to be that way for a play toy. That's what this is gonna be, right?

 

Yes,

A tire burning beater. I could swap the dash in from the diesel and register it using the diesel vin# for emissions purposes.

I thought about boxing in the "C" frame in 3 or 4 places between the firewall and the core support to make it more beefy.

 

those are some nice looking trucks. this old man is getting green with envy.

 

the mounts wont bolt up.the d100 is smaller then the d150.They came with the slant 6 didnt they.the 318 mounts wont work either.your gonna have to make your own.

 

use mounts from 90 diesel and they will bolt up. at least they did on mine. removed a 318. that applies up to 93 trucks.

 

A D100 is not smaller than a D150. It's a name change, nothing more. Like Chevy used to call a K2500 a K20.

 

what was the smaller dodge with the perkins diesel then?was that an early dakota?

 

D50, I think it was called.

 

That was the Ram 50/Power Ram 50. A Mitsubishi in Dodge clothing, completely different truck than the Dakota.

A 6BT in a Ram 50 would be quite a feat of backyard engineering!

 

LOL Dave i've officially seen a 6bt in everything....corvettes,mustangs,rangers,c10's,

 

I wanna see with my own eyes!! ...monte carlos, cameros, corvettes, suburbans, blazers, bronchos, superduteys... all look good on paper(internet) but i've seen nothing more than a jeep with a 4bt in it :-(

 

93 shorty. Doesn't pull worth a crap though. Too short.

 

I've got an i/c first gen in a 93 chevy 1500. My pictures got deleted, but you're welcome to come by and look at it if you're ever in Miami, FL.

 

Thanks, if im ever in the area i'll PM you and we can do lunch
