12v 3rd gen

i finaly got the internet at my house and uploaded the pics of my conversion, started as a 04 ram 2500 crew long 4x4, bought the truck as a theft recovery(missing engine, trans, and transfer case) then traded my truck for a 97 12v nv4500 and 241 tranfer and some cash, the conversion went fairly easy, had to build my own motor mounts modify transfer case cross member, have rear drive shaft lengthend and still need to have front shaft cut down, i talked to jeff garmon about guages, and then put a tone ring off common rail on crankshaft and built bracket for tach pickup,i still have quite abit of work ahead of me, i need to put on a common rail alternater and build braket for it, build adapters to get coolant temp and oil press guages working, other than that i was pretty pleased with how it turned out, oh yeah i used 12v a/c compressor, has same line hook up and wire connecter, used 12v power steering pump just didnt use the common rail power steering cooler

pics are in my photo gallery havent figured out how to up load to tread yet

Sweet conversion! Any idea if you'll have problems registering it for the road?
