1983 Fummins Build

[Dazed&Confused]

The OBS rear door panels? Power or manual and does color matter?

 

[Knoberman]

Yea, I've got the later doors for mine with no panels. I'm open on color or power I think.

Still gathering parts for the crew cab build. I picked up a 47rh, 241DHD to use behind my Cummins in it.

Looking Good!!

So I've managed to gather about 90% of the parts to build my 95/85/83 crew cab Fummins. I need an inner driver side axle for my 96 D60 frontend.

Keep at it your getting there, if you end up finding a extra bed in good shape I'm looking for one.

 

[Dazed&Confused]

It took me almost a year to stumble onto this one thanks to a friend of mine. It needs a bit of work but I got the whole truck cheap enough.

 

[chavousl]

Coming along good!

 

[Dazed&Confused]

I got the 85 running long enough to know that everything was good in the truck. It went in the barn and was stripped down.

Dually bed and rear axle under the crew cab.

Nice project(s) you've got going here. I have my 95 F350 torn apart right now to give it a quickie reprime. I have a power window cab I need to swap over all the goodies to mine, but I barely have th etime to finish sanding it to get it ready to shoot.

 

[Dazed&Confused]

Once I get the axles under this I'll pull bed and cab to clean and paint the frame. I'm just focussing on the Crewcab and the Dodge now.

2 projects is plenty to keep ya busy!

 

[Dazed&Confused]

Yes it is plus I'm helping a couple other guys with their projects. I really want to get this crew done up nice so I have a nice truck again.

 

[Knoberman]

I like the looks of that.

 

[Dazed&Confused]

Man I need the weather to warm up and dry up so I can get back to working on this. I've had no luck finding the missing parts I need for my D60. I'll have some extra money uncle Sam decided to give back so it will be time to start working on her again. Does anyone have a decent price source for D60 parts?

 

[fummins97]

roackauto.com or Jeffs Bronco Graveyard is where I've gotten just about every part for my last 3 fords (2 97' Fummins F350's and 76' Bronco) Nice progress on your project!

looking good keep up the good work

 

[Dazed&Confused]

With the help of a friend today I picked up a donor for this project. I just couldn't bring myself to pull the engine out of The Duck.

 

[SmokeShow]

Bodda bing!

 

[Dazed&Confused]

So I'm pretty sure I'll need a countershaft and input at least for the NV4500 to rebuild it. Does anyone have any pointers on cheap place to get parts? This is my donor though and saved the Duck. Its a 99 24V NV4500 truck with 168k miles.
