Can't wait for all the "goodies" to go in! (As if there isn't enough on this truck already...)

Keep it up! We're all enjoying the fruits of YOUR labor!

Thanks! Having fun, nothing is perfect unless it is custom. Just wish that I knew what I was doing And no that is not a joke, this is the first time I have worked on a car let alone restore one. That is why I have been asking for help, I really would like this beast to work well.

Hopefully I will have more to post again soon.

Keep the comments coming.

Hey, your project is very interesting to me. I have been basically putting a 1937 404H body on to a 1995 Ram 5.9 2wd. The engine fits nicely length wise just had to move the engine 6" back, not so much luck with the width. So far I have had big problems with the turbo and alternator hitting the hood sides. Going to need some custom parts there Also going to have to go with a bed located Radiator and Water to air intercooler and remote radiator for that too. . . I think some of it will help the truck with wieght distribution and hopefully some performance but I have just got started so I will keep an eye on your posts. I'll post some pics soon too. . .

Blazier, heck yeah send money or spare parts

MR T, Put the turbo on top of the engine like mariene or induestrial applications and mayble same thing with the alternator. I have more room on top of my engine than along side. Good luck on your project as well. Bed located radiators are really tough to keep cool, read up on that I have seen people do it but huge fans and not a good lock for a vintage truck.
