The site that i got these pics from is oldgmctrucks.com forums

The orange truck is in the Washington area and where posted by someone that didn't own the truck. (not much info)
The green truck is in the D/FW area and that member actually did the conversion. He doesn't post much but you might be able to contact him through the sites PM.
You can search it once logged in. Not much cummins talk over there.
