^ lol you must not have ever seen his truck...its definately a work truck, it actually gets used as a truck

 

i gota truck to use as a truck and its the definition of POS but it aint never quit and its not a chevy ford or dodge

none of my "shitvys" ( very uncreative) have been broken down in the drive way yet and at house we have 5 and a 2002 F250 isnt exactly an old work type truck

funny how i see well takin care of ford trucks running 200k plus all the time.

 

considering i have owned ford trucks older then you, and that have worked harder in a day, then you can in a month...speaks alot.

 

 

of course there not in your driveway, there still on the side of the road where they died ....hence why your looking for another..the ford's atleast made it home.

im lookin for another one cause im tired of using a Z28 as a daily driver and my W/T is older than me too

well i aint lookin for a work truck im lookin for a DD not a POS W/T. now if i did want a POS W/T then ill go buy a ford. but i kno people with 6.4's and 7.3's and so far they have proved to be useless except for the King Ranch bein nice on the interior

 

first i heard of 7.3s being useless but what do i know my truck gets 24mpg empty and 20 pulling a load thru the hills of wv

find a ford or chevy with a blown motor & put a cummins in it. they make adapter plates to use the stock trans that came in thows trucks

i just dont like dodge's suspenshion set up

 

I agree with this suggestion, especially after considering doing this with my 3/4 ton Chevy and opting to build a 496 gas motor thinking it would be less work. Turns out that it was just as much work.

 

I'd look to the Southern US for a 3/4 ton with no rust. High miles or blown motor/trans. Make sure it's a 3/4 ton with the Hydroboost braking system to save you additional expense and work. Have it hauled up to Ohio and then find a totaled or rusted out 12v Cummins powered Dodge for cheap.

 

I would not bother with a 1/2 ton if doing this swap. In fact, I would not bother with a 1/2 ton truck unless I was building it to be a sport truck and never haul or tow much of anything.

 

FWIW, from my research doing a Cummins swap into a 4x4 GM requires a body lift since the Cummins is so tall. You can find the trans adapter in the junk yard under a FedEx truck if I remember correctly.
