well i'm starting my conversion.which is strecthing a 85 ford cab and chasis 4x4 duallly and putting a 82 dodge crew cab on thatand putting a cummins in that. i have the frame and the cab -1 rear door (drivers side) and i have the 92 cummins with a getrag plus i just bought a industrial cummnins core(has a bad crank and no water pump) rated at 152HP with no afc on the pump.

so i need to find a water pump, whats a good place to find one? and what should i expect to pay?
i also read that there is an upgraded heater core for these 92 dodge trucks? if so where do i find one?
would it be better to run the industrail injection pump? also the 92 has upgraded injectors but i dont know what they are.

what the cab looks like

Sounds like a good project, but if you weren't going to 4x4 I'd stay with the dodge crewcab chassis. Inspect it when you get the chassis off, it is very beefy

Most any parts store can sell you a water pump.

Don't use the industrial injection pump.

pwrtripls1

the water pump should be around $30

what is different about the industrial injection pump/why shouldn't i use it? just woundering, i will use the stock cummins one.

i would even stick with the dodge frame if i had wider runing gear.

Alwaysworking

is that with the pulley, because that is all i am missing.

bloodhound51

yes the pulley comes attached to the water pump.
you are using a ford chassis with the dodge body. right?

Alwaysworking

yes ford chassis with dodge cab

bloodhound51

haha cool conversion havent seen one yet.

Alwaysworking

the fun part is the frame strech ford is standard cab and the dodge is well alot longer. but i have a cnc plasma and torch so the fish plates will be easy.

thanks, i pm him. i hope to see his convertion driving around salem soon.

is there a way to get better heat out of the heater core. i need it to clear all the windows or at least most of them

Alwaysworking

also it will be a hoist bed, and i going to run stacks

Aftermarket heater cores are thicker than stock and put out more heat than the stock one.
