Swap 94 5.9 into 76 One Ton Van Frame for COE Project Looking for help
Hi guys here is the deal. I have a 52 GMC COE 2 ton truck. I am wanting a COE car hauler. I have a running but rusty 94 Dodge 1 ton service pickup dual wheels with the Cummins and an automatic. I bought a clean 76 Minnie Winnie 10500 GVW with a 360 gas for the base of my project.
I plan on putting the cummins in the van frame, then placing the 52 COE cab on top. I know I will be cutting and working around the floor and inner fenders for fitment. I am looking for idea's Haven't found someone that has done this that I can use as a guide. Motor mounts? Wiring to make it run? I will likely be using the 94 column, to have cruise and tilt, otherwise I would like to use the stock gauges. Plan on staying with the automatic trans that is in the 94 as well. Will post some pictures as I progress of course. Would like to get it running this summer on the van frame...... thanks Chris
