Hey,that is what mine will look like someday. I love green.

 

i think im going white. ive had enough green. but i may go with a really dark green

 

havent done much the past few days, the old 360 is just about ready to come out. just have to undo the motor mounts and tranny and shes out. then gotta drop the trans out. them im ready to mock up the cummins.

 

Awesome project. The before picture looks great. I also have a 76 Highboy. I'd like to do an International DT360 diesel swap but I have too much going on to probably ever do it.
My half ton is a very dark green if you want to check that color out in my albums.

 

havent made much progress on this in the last week due to a side job i picked up, hopefully its done with in the next week or so so i can get back to my hiboy.

i did go to pick up this cab today though. all the rust has been repaired on it and it came with a swb frame, maybe ill save it for a future project.
picked it up for 500 bucks, figured it was worth it, will save me a bunch of time.

 

Not to shabby. Did the motor mounts show up yet?

 

not yet, ill let ya know! ill have pics here.

 

finally getting back to this, had a gmc that i had to swap engines on which took up my spare time to work on this but now that thats gone i can get back to my truck.

well this was a little more difficult then i expected but still wasn't too bad. i wanted to pull the engine and tranny as a unit but that didnt happen, oh well. the engine is out, ended up having to pull the ****ty headers off to do it but w/e, wont have to look at them damn things any more.

 

Good progress.

 

thanks, one piece at a time. lil sad to see the old 360 go, but ill find something to do with it. im already planing a second truck with the short bed frame that came with the cab i bought .

 

messed with the truck for a lil while after work. i had my 360 set on some tires and a bored and some how it tipped over and make i giant oily mess all over. i think the only casualty may have been the PS pump but im not all too worried since it will be quite some time before that motor makes its way back into anything. so i had to clean that mess up first, then i put the engine on a stand so it wouldnt happen again and i can wheel it around outa the way. that involved running out to get bolts and oil dry but oh well.

i then went on to tackle this POS. my only guess is it was a mount for a plow or something. took the old plasma cutter to it, man i love that tool. saved me hours with the die grinder.

plasma cutter


pos mount with shotty welds



f you, all gone



figured that was enough fun for today. getting some gaskets together and stuff so i can put my oil pan on the cummins and do the KDP fix.

 

Where did you find that cab at?? And where in Delaware are yah? Im outside of Hockessin

 

i lived up there till i was about 6 then we moved down to where we are now in townsend.

i found the cab on craigslist up in PA out side of philly. i couldnt turn it down and im glad i didnt, its going to pay for its self rather fast.

 

Damn nice find I have been checking CL a lot lately without much luck too

 

started off the night putting a bunch of tools and stuff away and just cleaning up a bit, too much clutter to work effectively. then i wrapped up the 360 so it wont get stuff inside of it while it sits. then i started pulling off all the wires on my cummins, wont be needing much of them anyway.

most the junk off it


eww


wires!


then i started working on the kdp fix





lil ******* started to wiggle its way out


tapped it back into place


then i "penned" the edge of the hole slightly in 3 places to keep it from coming out again
