Westy thanks for the clarification...I misunderstood you on the phone when we were talking about the motor mounts...and thanks for all the other info, I wasn't saying anything we discussed was wrong by starting this thread simply asking for input from others so I hope you didn't take it the...
Recovery, not at all please do! I don't remember hitting delete or why I would...unless I just wasn't paying attention, which is highly possible. :drool: Thanks!
thanks for the tips! Good things to look in to, as far as the deuce thread...I'm not sure what happened to it....I couldn't find it to post to the other day?
So after selling my bobber and having some play cash Westech and I worked out a deal on his CUCV 1.5 (AKA K3500 frame and axles with K1500 body). I purchased the truck and a crate 6.2 motor off of him with intentions being to swap out the 4.3 here this spring/summer. The truck already has a 5...
I wouldn't say a change of heart I still love my deuce...don't want to give away too many details but the new project involves a Cummins motor and a new platform :-D
Thanks guys, sent the EUC in today so now we play the waiting game! The truck is going up in the classifieds tonight btw, for anyone interested...starting a new project.
Just won my first auction for a crate LDS motor on GL. Gimpy and I went up and looked her over, appears to be brand spanking new rebuilt in 85 (even had the tags still on it)...just wait for the EUC to clear and looks like time to do a little LDS swap. Anyone need and LDT motor????:p Here's a...
Gimp, at work yesterday I just so happened to pass "Barbie" on the way back to the station from a run.....I never remember any of the dolls looking like that!!!:shock: Ken was running the other direction down the street...oh wait no that was just the guy that robbed Barbies house after she left...
Thanks! I actually used plain ol' rattle cans, Rustoleum dark taupe. If I did it all over again I would have bought the paint in gallon form and rented one of the airless spray guns, would have been much quicker and less coats to cover everything. I wouldn't say it was too hard yet my rig is by...
@sandfarmer, don't listen to Gimp he's a grouchy old man! Honestly I love the whistler, but this is also coming from the kid that had a Cummins and took the silencer ring and modified his intake just to make it louder :D. I don't think the sound is too bad for short trips, today I had her to 55...
Sorry it's been a while, life has been busy. Managed to get out today and get my new pyrometer installed. Also a few pics of the turbo swap took out the "D" and put in a "C", nothing better than that whistle! Managed to hit just over 1300* on an uphill pull in 4th....looks like no need to turn...
thanks for the tips guys, I've been filtering through all of the cummins swap threads I can find for information. As far as the trans I haven't decided yet....I was happy with the NV4500 that was in my Cummins before, maybe change to that??
