ImUrOBGYN Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That's what Jim Harris did when his Peterbilt 18-wheeler rolled on the Hollywood Freeway in Los Angeles. The rig was totaled, so it ended up sitting around taking up space. His son's college truck, a '95 F-150, was also no longer being used. In a flash of inspiration, it became obvious what had to be done with this clutter. http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/ford/0810dp_1995_ford_f150_cummins_diesel/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Now I have heard of putting the 5.9L Cummins in many different trucks, but never the 14.0L Cummins engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 There was a guy at the Mopar Nats a few years back with a mid '60s four-door Ram, one of the LONG bed ones that the Air Force used. He did basically the same swap, but had it set up with Rockwell axles for 4WD. It was actually pretty subtle, it basically looked like a slightly lifted truck until you started looking at pieces, and then you got the "Holy Hell" moment.
