Dont really where to put this but here goes.

I am wanting to know how well a 90's chevy would hold up to my cummins. Is there a way to make the front end hold up to sled pulling???? That or how about an 80's ford f-2/350 4x4 reg. cab

I'm thinking that if I get this job i was just invited to interview for I will be buying a commuter car and starting a cummins swap all toy/fun/weekend driver project. I love how the chevys ride and drive as I owned one ('92 1/2 Ton) But I jsut have a soft spot for a clean looking eairly 80's fords (1st truck) I think one of those would be sweet with buckets and utility interior well glam utility LOL

So what ya think? I would be putting my 97 cummins and trans in it or maybe finding a NV4500 for ease but I love my Dave G auto!

 

What's wrong with the rest of your 97? Why not just use it?

 

nothing I just like the interior of the chevs and Ford becasue of the sweet spot O have for them. That and Its fun to be different!

 

IFS is junk, it wont hold up and isnt worth playing with sled pulling if your starting fresh, go with a 1986 F350....older recessed headlights and still had a kingpin dana 60......anything before that and a F350 will have a TTB axle and ALL F250's from 1980-1997 have Dana 44 HD's until the late 80's then they got Dana 50's, some mid to late 90's F350's also had Dana 50's but they were solid axles not TTB's.....the solid axles dana 50's are a light duty dana 60 "essentially"......

 

Depend on what class you want to pull in a lot of power and hanging lot of weight will kill any IFS. Several guys running 600s to the ground and they ain't having a lot of trouble with there IFS.
