Black Truck Progress Pics(Cummins Conversion

We got a little off track because of a problem with the trans conversion vendor, but here's a pic of the assembled drivetrain:




The cab stripped down waiting for the dash from the Cummins donor truck.

That looks like a lot of hard work and determination. Keep us posted, I see a diamond in the rough.

jiMMyCTD,

If I was married I'd probably being showing you pics of my kitchen conversion instead. Women don't usually understand thousands of dollars going out the door for a giant black truck.

I admire your determination. When you are done I will be jealous.
What a work of art. Keep up the good work. When its done you could sell it for 20K but I bet you wouldnt sell it for 30K. Keep up the good work. Nice Photos.

Looks like the Cummins didn't settle the springs much. Good deal. It looks like it belongs there.

Scott (Proram) was telling me about this last week at the MDTDR picnic, thought it was very cool.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
