Pretty nice work.. im thinking of doing the same swap and i joined this forum as soon as i read that you were doing this exact swap. what gave you the most grief. im thinking of doinog it with a OBS chevy with no bcm ecu ... and my donor is a 1994 dodge 2500 with no complicated electronics aswell. :tu:
what kind of OBS cab do you have? what kind of ram? Their are plenty of hurdles to get over but its worth it!:yeah: |

what is the dodge wheel base i ment, ext cab long box? You should find a 6.5 donor has IC and hydro boost provisions Ect..
and i wasnt lookin for a 6.5 only because out here in Quebec they rust faster than you can blink .. so the one thats decent that comes my way is the one to be parted.. i was thinking of doing it like you for the brake and all .. using the dodge master cylinder and brake booster..im comfertable with a welder and metal working so .. thats whay i was thinking of doing a body swap on the dodge instead of a cummins swap in a chevy.. might happen next who knows.!! :tu: |

Oh haha i didn't notice your location! Yah the rust belt isn't very nice to any machine especially 16+ year old ones. But luckily back then chev and Chrysler shared the same parts suppliers for alot of stuff so it should be pertty close like mine. Originally i was going to do the OBS swap untill i came across free NBS parts. Plus my cummins ended up being a 24v insted of a 12v. Luck of the draw i suppose. So do you want to keep it a reg cab long box? If i recall years ago when i was doing my measurements for OBS swap you can do a EXT cab chev short box on that wheel base perfectly. The body perches and the chev are about 1.5 inches wider then dodge. A big challenge is gonna be getting the cab on the frame without looking out of place, the dodge frame has a longer front kick up so the cab will sit pretty high on the frame, i pushed my cab as far back as i could while maintaining some wheel well fitment. I have about an 1 1/4'' from the fan mount pully to rad and 3/8's clearance from the 4" down pipe.
awesome. sounds like they fit great together... i would sure love to find a good condition crew cab but the options are limited. mostly ext cab and regular cab are available.. but i keep good hope of finding a decent crew cab.. any how, i have more faith in making a cab fit that engine mounts trans mousnt and drive shafts.. my experience with truck isn't that advance..one day tho:w2: |
