. Sorry it's been a while. I've moved since my last post and I've gone back to school which is away from home. I traded tires with my brother. I now got his set of 38x15.50 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws, also I re-tinted the windows and installed a 4 inch straight pipe exhaust with a 5 inch tip Here is a walk around and exhaust video, I'll try to get a drive by tomorrow.

Thanks for the video. That truck is very slick for a 1987. Keep up the good work!

i used stock 91 dodge mounts and built an adapter bracket onto the stock block adapter that i turned upside down . Once you remove the ford brackets there are holes you can use to bolt the dodge mounts to.

i assume you mean the vacuum booster? on my swap the 91.5 cummins has a vacuum pump that supplies vacuum to the dodge booster, so all i did was take the dodge hose and plumb it to my brake booster, thats part of why i bought the donor truck that i did, it literally had everything i needed. Also, for that year dodge the power steering pressure hose was 3/8, same as the ford, so all i had to do was use the dodge end off the pump and the ford end going into the gear box, i just used a cheap brass crimp on sleeve to attatch the ford end to the hose.
