i've got a 99 24v dodge truck right now, i love it but i want a 12v, i yurn for a 12v:shaking:
I have been looking into sellin my current truck and buying a cheaper truck and building it up.. Buying diesel sucks but if i didnt have a truck payment, it would suck less:flipoff2:
I have always (well since 99:flipoff2
loved the coveted '99 4dr short bed chevy trucks. they give me major wood..
You can see where this is going... I have found a few 2-3 trucks for sale, they are all 4x4, 454, auto and in the neighborhood of 5-9k. I did find one 2wd with a 350 about a year ago but it wasnt a good time to buy for me..
My dad has a 98 chevy with a 454 which isnt horrible on gas but it's deffinatly worse than my current CTD. I do tow quite a bit..
i guess my questions are, is it going to be a major pain in the ass to ditch the vortec wiring??
will a 6bt even fit under the hood of a older 88-98 chevy??
anyone have any estimate of a running 6bt, nv4500 and t-case??? keep in mind i'd need everything, turbo, IC, clutch...
I have ~11K in my current dodge, if i could find a chevy 4dr for 7-9K i could sell the running gear out and put it towards the 12v motor.. I know this probably wont save me a lot of money, if any at all but i would be doing it a piece at a time and hopefully i could have it swapped and finished before i died:laughing:
Is this even a logical idea?? anyone swapped a cummins into one of these trucks??
