95 1500 Dodge w/318 to 6BT Race Truck

[Crawler]

This isn't a dificult swap by any means.
The tougher parts actually had to do with all of the suspension and chassis changes.

I do want to put some of the pics up here so there is a bit of a record of my project. However, this was a bit more than just a conversion.

This truck started as a 95 2wd 1500 Dodge with a 318.

It is now a Cummins powered, back halfed, 4 linked, tubbed, nitrous fed, caged beast.

Here is a brief pictorial history.

Hey ryan,

Shoot me a PM with your cell number. I lost it. Would like to swing by and check out the 81 sometime.

I'm running a 31/15 ET Street.

Using a 47re tranny built by James Northum using a full manual valve body and a custom billet converter.

Whose lower control arms did you use? Is there a drop in those arms also?
