I've been working on this truck in my spare time. A good solid tow rig project. Installing a 12 valve Cummins, Allison 2000 trans, P-30 step van axles, Disc brakes w/hydroboost, power steering with a reverse rotation Dodge box bolted in stock location. I'm a rookie to modding the 5.9, so I will be asking a lot of questions.
Here are some pics.
The truck where I found it...
It was a Collingswood, NJ Fire truck
Got it home and washed the moss and tree sap off it.
Mocking up mounts and steering box, yes the frame will get some reinforcements....
It fits. I will require some form of high mount turbo.
Cab coming off..
I've been taking an auto body class at the local tech school 2 nights a week. So far I have the body work done on everything but the cab. The fenders, running boards, and lower grill shell are painted black. 3 coats of black base, 4 coats clear.
More to come as the project gets moving. The chassis and cab are currently at the media blaster, hopefully getting them back this week
