77 Ford wants cummins power
Has anyone seen the show Trucks on Spike tv? They are doing a project called super dually, they are taking a 1978 ford crew cab and putting it on a 96 dodge 2 wheel frame and using the cummins motor and running gear. I have a 1977 ford crew cab 2 wheeler that I want to do the same thing to , but I want to put it on a 4x4 frame. I have done alot of fab work and gas engine conversions in the past but no diesel's yet. I was wondering what years of dodge truck would be easy to use for a swap. I also would like to know what trans you guys would use, I would like a 5 speed, but an auto is fine to. I just want the milage and reliability of the cummins, i dont need to make huge power just would like a cool truck to hall the family around in that gets better than 7 miles per gallon. The fabbing isnt a problem I hate computer controled cars and want to keep it simple. Also what is the difference in the pumps on the differnt years of dodge trucks. Well thanks for your intrest in my question and thank for making a place where you can ask these kind of questions and get the answers.
