I got a 1991 School Bus for $1,200 I am going to sell the Allison 545 junkyard here in PA has med duty trucks and he gave me a spectre 6 + 1 for 500 I hope it works LOL and comfy yard parts to convert my truck to diesel about 7 or 800 which is not giving me a whole lot of room for error

Okay I haven't been here for a while. My wife has been in and out of the hospital. I started my DT swap well kind of... I have the bed pulled off and I'm cleaning the frame as well as getting fuel tanks and fuel lines done. I am planning on pulling the cab next week to get it cleaned up underneath and frame as well as having more room to work. I will post a few pics in the next couple days.... if this thread is still alive

So I have started my dt360 swap finally I got the motor cleaned up quite a bit and that's on hold until I have everything fully mocked up. Should have my new front crossmember put in by this weekend so I can cut out the old one just feel that that would be a better way to do it so I don't have to worry abut the frame shifting. If there is anyone on here with welding experience some input would be greatly appreciated this is what I have so far


Brackets



Not sure if I should have ground down those welts or not but I plan on putting a triangle feel peace and Welding it together



I am going to do some boxing and put gussets in the corners
