I dont plan on doing any mods at all. Ive gone through my teen diesel stage lol
Ill try to search the forums on 6bt swaps.

 

do you want to run a divorced t case or married? what year is the cummins you got

 

The zf and the dodge 5 speed have a tramsfer case
And its a 96

 

What's the zf trans for a diesel or gas? There's no real gain to using the zf over the dodge nv4500 probably just cost more in the end because you need the hydraulic system and adapter plate for the cummins the nv4500 will bolt right up since you can get everything you need from the dodge donor truck

 

So ive 100% confirmed this is the actual mileage. So, ive decided to not frankenstein it, but just restore it back to original.

Went on blue oval truck parts and did some shopping. Picked up left and right quarter panels, driver bed side, cab corners, and a passenger rear rocker panel. For now at least. I've been tinkerin with the motor and got it runnin good but I plan on pullin it and tearin it apart to see how everything looks. Had problems with popping through the carb when cold and crappythrottle response but fixed that by adjusting the timing to 6dtdc. Got a few pics and vids of the old girl. Enjoy!

 

I restored low mileage truck will be worth considerably more than a Frankenstein one.

Agreed^^^^
I have begun teardown and I'm waiting for mr ups to bring my patch panels, driver bedside and break lines. Pics shortly!

 

Expect to do some mods.

 

subscribed. I have a pair of 68s down here in Texas. 1 is now a 416 built off a 360 block with a toploader, other is going to be a almost stock restoration, except for an Edelbrock performer intake and cam, Holley 600cfm carb, and a modern stereo. Anxious to se how yours turns out.

 

really need some doors, mine are rusty on the bottom. if you have some spares- ill take em

 

67 doors aren't the same as 68 doors (if you're going for a 'stock' resto)...

darrell

 

no extra doors, just like the 67 interior door panels better than the 68s.

 

Dang read that quick and didn't realize it said 68. But I agree, I love the 67 int. Panels.
Got my package but looks like the bedsidE is a sb instead of a long bed :/ my mistake. It's impossible to find a long bed bedside for this truck! Any help would be mush appreciated!

 

best bet is probably a donor bed.
