So I have been working on this since July now. I think I finally have gotten far enough to start a thread on it. This is going to be my daily driver. Cummins 4bt with compound turbo set up, "beefed up" mustang II front suspension, Phoenix transmission diesel specific built 700R4 OD tranny, dodge steelies, and fully boxed frame.
So here it goes....... removing the I-Beam suspension Attachment 201401 Attachment 201402 Attachment 201403 Attachment 201404 |

finishing up the front suspension. I didn't like the extended length tie rods so I put some heim joints and billet tie rod sleeves on. 700lbs springs with QA1 coil overs.

And on to getting the motor mounts fabbed and the cummins in the chassis. And yes, you are seeing that right; the engine is set waaaay back and I cut the firewall. I will have to modify the windshield wiper mechanism a little, do a street rod gas pedal set-up, and some custom carpet.

So this is where I am at. Engine is set in the chassis and the cab is in place. I will post pics of the rear frame work next weekend.

I have a question of my own ignorance, why did you set the engine so far back? I think I am aware that the newer trucks are similar, but is there a reason? :-huh
The transmission bell is out in the engine bay on my slick. John :-X06 |

That is a clean build. As a bonus you have no worries about making that tall engine and the crossmember or steering get along.

Nice fabwork!!!
How much space are you going to have in between fan and rad? Looks like ALOT!!! |
Sweet build! subscribed

Man! This makes me want to learn how to weld so bad! I'm glad I found that weld tutorial in the older truck thread
