Good idea!

wow, looks nice, glad to see you didn't sell it!

was he thinking of selling it?

I think someone said they saw it in the classifieds on another site a while back.

On a side note - here's a few pics of how I was using those car dollies while working on my swap this weekend. They sure make life easier when I'm the only one around and I have to move some HEAVY stuff... Anybody need a D70 rear out of a Dodge???

I believe in this thread he mentioned the possibility of selling it due to having to move, maybe i've just gone crazy, i'm to lazy to check

Ha.... anything is for sale! Well that's what they say anyway.....

A few months back we were talking about moving to CO and that move would be a lot easier without the Crew in tow. So we haven't heard from the job in CO, so while we were waiting, one of my parents houses became available and we decided to go that route.... for now.

Hey Guys......

Just thought I would stop by and say Hello! Since our move into the new house (still getting things settled), the project has been just sitting warm and cozy in the garage. Hope to be getting back to it before long.

WOW!!!! That is NICE!!!! GREAT WORK!!! I have never seen a 69 crew cab!! My unlce was talking about doing a diesel swap.

HRDROKN 12-13-2008 11:46 PM

Nothing like a new motor to get things rolling.... Oo.

I found this one on Craigslist for a reasonable price! The short block is ready to go, all built with Cummins West bearings and gaskets. ARP head studs, nice HX35, built P7100 and all misc pieces. Just need to get a head.... o-ringed and ported.
