I'm going too build up a truck that will get me and my huntin/mountain bikin buddy's around and for when i get some grand-kids, i'm doing a Econo-line handle swap thanx too Bendog , i'm standing on the Fence between a 5.9 cummins or a Inline 300-6

 

Opp's posted this in the Wrong place,,, how do i move it too Dentsides??

 

Exactly the way you did...ask a Moderator!

Thread moved to appropriate forum.

 

Great looking truck; I love the color. Nice and simple.

 

go with the cummins, i think you love the power and the economy of it, im wantin to do it to my old 78 as well.

 

nice looking truck an yea same here if i have kids i want something everybody could ride in an do stuff camping boating etc.. an not be cramped up in the truck.

 

bad *** truck. im really itching for a crew

 

Go cummins for sure!

Also - love the handle swap. I will be doing the same thing. I have the handles from an 80's bronco which are similar yet slightly different. I may use those but I like the econoline a bit better (metal push button vs. plastic like on the bronco ones) so if I find a set I'll do it.

 

Nice crew. I also love the handle swaps. I'd love to get my hands on a cheap crew project.

 

looks nice, wish i had a crew. those wheels off that van would look sweet on the crew... just a thought.

 

I am so jealous, dang its hard to stay focused on a single project.

How did that method of towing go?

Does it handle better then trailering and is it good for long distances.

Reason is I'm going to have to sneak out west and grab up one of those crews out from underneath you western guys.

 

towed great straight down I-5 ,2 hour drive, and it did help having a Duramax in my Van,,,, that's the main reason I'll be puttin in a Cummin's in my Crew

 

go with the stroker love my powerstroke in my truck i would love to find a crew cab to put my powerstroke into, also the cummins cost alot to get into any truck and running expecialy if you want to run ford tranny or even if you can find a cummins tranny you will probably pay a pretty penny for.

 

I'm in Southern Oregon, i'll be puttin away sum cash too buy a 97 donor cummin's with a manual tran's ,,, Thanx too Chase and Bendog for their well informed build threads they have some great idea's and i'm good at fab-work ,don't take it the Wrong-Way but from what iv'e read i'll stick with the Cummin's

 

Looks saweet! Love the handles.
Reason the Cummins cost so much? It's worth it! And it's the only way us working stiffs can afford to drive these old trucks daily.
