What did you have to do front-suspension wise for the extra weight of the Cummins Luke?

J, nothing. the torsion bars are beefy enough to hold it up no problem. I played with it before the BBC came out. cranked right up the front end is nearly solid. I just have to adjust them for ride height after all is said and done.

so been a while now re engineering the drivetrain and finding parts. a true frankentruck now. Chevy base, cummins engine, dodge tranny, ford tcase, Freighliner rims.

but tcase is in looks like everything is going to work just fine. converted the tranny to 2wd. wireing harness is mostly in. had to notch the hood rib slightly to fit the intake horn. fitup the turbo to intercooler pipeing all looks good. dirveshaft lines look good.
