37 GMC Cummins
Hey guys I'm new to this site, but I've looked at some of the other conversions in this forum and thought you might wanna see what i was workin on this spring. Its a 37 Gmc 1.5 ton on a 96 dodge 3500 dually chassis 6bt, custom hauler bed air ride, 22.5 wheels, etc. I'll get with it today and put on some pics, and i got alot so i'll start with pics from the beginning. I left the project right at paint (had to go make a living) but it was a driver last time i worked on it. Hope you enjoy.

I built a custom hauler bed for the truck, this took quite a bit of time and work. But I think it was worth it.

This is the bed with the sides on it.
I made a pretty cool hidden fuel door between the tool box and rear fender.
And because of the tight space i put on an air cylinder to pull the lever for the gooseneck ball. Just flip a switch in the cab and the spring loaded ball pops up.

Here is the engine and chassis after some cleaning and a fresh coat of paint.

This shows some of the bed work up close after sandblast. It took alot of fab work to get it looking this nice.
