Is that fulltime 4x4 w/ a 203 case? Nice truck. Nice trucks throughout this thread.

Here's one of mine:





This one came from Texas. Currently it's just a cab setting on the frame. Previous owner had a 90 Dodge Cummins driveline installed.

Here is mine. '85 W350 in the process of being converted now. I hope to have it running next week.

Is that a chassis cab crew? Whats the wheelbase on that?

Trebor

No, it was stretched by the previous owner who had a 12 foot flatbed set up for a GN trailer hitch. I think the wheelbase was somewhere around 180 inches.

bookshelf my rig was ex fire dept ex usfs. it is full time but i will change all that over from my donor. 318 auto full time. i also found a nice straight pickup box because my gooseneck won't work on a utility box. trying to get my work caught up so i can bring in both rigs and start swaping stuff.

I have a Question for the crew cab conversion guys .
Im putting the running gear from a 93 into my 85 CC .
did you have to move the transmission mount back about 2 inches?

i'll get a build up thread soon

simplysmn

Are you running 4x4 or 2x I think on my crewcab it was pretty close but mine was a total conversion from 2x over to 4x4 plus it was a longbed .
I don't think you have to but you might have to move it a little

johny5

My CC is a 4x4 short box .
it looks like the front motor mounts were the same
(there is no cab mounted right now however)

Canso

Johny5.................you have some nice looking 1st gen crews with Diesels running around in your province. Should look the guys up and maybe you could hook up with them.

Once gentleman had a crew cab body (redone) listed on Craigslist, that I was thinking of purchasing but I was too far into mine.

I decided to graft the 85 crew body onto a 93 4x4 extended cab frame/chasis. Had to modify the floors at the rear to accomodate the difference in the frames and cut out a notch for the fuel sending unit; its all assembly now.

I installed a 47rh in mine. So I ended up have to build a new mount. I used the cross member from my 727. I was able to use 4 hole in the bottom of frame. Then built a tower to go from the trans to the cross member. Then shimed the upper parts of member down about 1" from top because the crew cab frame is about 1 thicker in that part.
