Gasser to Cummins swap Build Thread

Right now my grandpa owns a pertty 84 W350 wrecker that will be mine in the future. I plan on swapping the gas 360 for a 5.9 12valve. But right now my updates will be more appearence wise rather than the swap itself as I am currently saving up for the 12Valve motor. First update will be her paint. The paint job is currently only half finished, but the general idea can be seen

and for now I gotta keep the gasser running, and the carb spacer was needed badly.

It wouldn't look like one if the wheels were silver. Then it would just look like a nice blue, white and black truck.....



If you paint the bed RED, then you can say you're done.....

Nothing nicer than driving A red, white and blue truck about.....

300 miles and she still purring without a vacuum leak. the only problem is I need a new throttle cable. current one is adjusted all the way out, and still idles at about 1000rpm. should
be in the 700s I think.
