1969 Ford Cummins Crew Cab...
Ford owns cummins ya know....  As a long time Dodge enthusiast (particularly the Cummins era), I have always been amused by this statement.... It's a classic example of how a silly rumor over time becomes fact in the ignorant minds of men as they stand around their Fords dreaming the dream that the Dodge boys are living! .

I was working on my truck the other day and a guy stopped by to check it out and after we were a bit into the conversation, he informs me that Ford owns Cummins ya know! Hmmmmm ... never thought that I would have actually heard that in person! Needless to say I set the record straight! Anyway, here is my latest project due for a Cummins swap...

Thanks Guys! As you can see from these pics, this truck had it's share of rust... Point of interest was that the seller advertised this truck as "rust free"

Yes, this is my first swap. My previous truck was a 1983 Dodge Crew Cab / Cummins, but the motor was already done when I got the truck. :thumbsup

OK, lets get to some good stuff.... One of the dilemmas in swapping the Cummins into the ford is the cross member... it is too shallow and it interferes with the low mount a/c pump. So by fabricating a new cross member and relocating that cross member further back I have solved those issues.... Here is the motor between the rails... notice that I have already cut down the stock cross member.

Another minor issue... As you can see from these photos, the previous owner really hacked the crap out of the drivers side frame rail, all to install a power steering box...

I'll have the motor set with 2" of offset wich will give me enough clearance for the a/c compressor and clearance for the drivers side drop NP205 transfer case... I pre-fabed a cross member from wood to get an idea of what I wanted, I then transfered to steel...
