Found a lot more rust then what was disclosed by the previous owner! In fact he described the truck as being rust free...

Plan is to cut out all (or most) of the rusted section and weld in new metal.





I'll post some more later tonight....

Previous owner did a real hack job on this frame! I have already developed a plan to repair it....

After some carefull measurements, I decided to build a new cross member and relocate it rearward of the stock cross member. This will enable me to retain the stock Dodge/Cummins A/C compressor location. The motor will be set 2" offset to the passenger side. Pics....

I was keeping pretty good track of all the measurements as I was thinking that someone might be interested... of course looking back through my notes and drawings, it looks like I forgot a few pieces

I was thinking that it would be a good idea to make a jig for this swap?

There is definite interest by lots of people for a Cummins B swap into a Bumpside. That truck is even cool without an engine.

Any data you can provide is great. We have many interested in the same swap over in the 48-60 section.
