Default 1997 GMCummins

Hey guys! This is my 97 GMC 1500 that I've had since January of 2013. Its been quite the journey so far!

This swap is mostly complete.
But heres my parts list.
Truck:
1997 GMC 1500, was 5.7/4l60e/np243
1978 High pinion drivers drop dana 44
14 bolt GM full floating rear end

Engine:
1994 12 valve
Gutted AFC unfortunately
O-ringed head
Arp 425s
60# springs
7x.014 SAC. Kind of big for my turbos, but its manageable
hx35 over hx55 (I dont know the specs on the 55, other than that it supposedly came from an M11 Cummins
Full 5" straight exhaust from the turbo back

Transmission and Transfer case:
1997 Ford Powerstroke ZF-5
South Bend DD 650 horsepower clutch
Ford master and slave cylinder
Borgwarner 1356 transfer case

This swap was mostly done starting March of 2015 and driving by June of 2015. Would have been quicker but I am a full time student 2.5 hours from home, and when I'm not in school I'm at work.

Heres some pictures of it. I dont have a whole lot from the actual swap itself.

Heres the truck when I got it.. Boy oh boy do I miss the stock truck look.

I like the idea of what I read about your conversion.
Maybe pictures will be available someday. haha
NVM, I just have to clicky the linky.

Man that looks sharp!
I like the newer mirrors on the OBS. I had the same ones on my 95 Dodge.
