Welcome aboard. I too love the show... Too bad nobody films shows over here near the east... I would love to just come on and HELP. What a blast to work on a vehicle where all the tools are available and can get whatever parts you need!

Ryan,
I have watched the show for years, and really like what you guys are doing! I'm looking forward to seeing the Ford/Cummins project. Are you dropping a Ford body onto a 97 Chassis or are you dropping a Cummins into a Ford?
I want to see the first option. That looks interesting. I have seen some pretty cool conversions in the mags, and I really like the look of the 70's era Fords.

Howdy Ryan, and welcome to the DieselTruckResource site. 
TrucksTV has been a favorite show since the EARLY days.
Lots of good truck related info both there and here.
There's more than a few trucks here that would be REAL eye-openers for the non-diesel performance crowd.
Grab your beverage of choice, Sit back, Prop 'yer feet up, and commence surfing........

Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm looking forward to hanging out here and soaking up some good info.
The truck we are putting together will take a while, and at first we are going to stick to somewhat mild upgrades. After that who knows??????
The plans for the TRUCKS! rig is to take a wrecked 97 Dodge and drop a 70's era Ford body on it. We know it might **** some people off mixing breeds like that but whatever. We wanted something unique and reliable so that is what we came up with. It will be our "real" tow rig not just a "tv" truck. Our V10 super duty is tired and sucks much fuel! Plus I've always wanted a Cummins with a 5 spd.
As for my truck............ its a pile It has 192K on it and is very used. I still dig the hell out of it! It's a 94 2wd dually with a 5 spd. the PO installed a #5 TST and 5" straight exhaust and I threw on a Flowmaster race muffler real quick before I put my wife in the truck for 1200 miles. More work to come - fix oil leaks, rebuild the trans, clean it up, bed liner, maintenance etc....
