86 chevy 2wd

calebmcclellan · 11-04-2008, 10:41 PM

I'm building my 86 chevy 2wd into a cummins powered daily driver. I'm in the process of making it a shortbed and doing the body work. The motor is out of my 94 2500. Let me know what you guys think or if anyone has pics of this swap so I can get some ideas of how to do the mounts.

how much lower does the front end sit with that beast in there?

Looks like a very well done and clean swap. Love the way you dealt with the heater box, genius

why did you convert to a short box though? and you putting some thing else back into your 94?

that thing looks clean to me! Good work!

beins that the truck is a 3/4 ton is only squatted the front about 2 inches. I've already lowered the back 4" with shackles and hanger brackets, but i think i'm gonna have to take out the overload spring to get it to set level. the heater box was kind of an accident because i broke it when I was trying to swing the motor in there by myself, but i think it worked out better because it won't melt now, and who needs air conditioning right? I made it a shortbed because i've never seen a 3/4 ton shortbed especially with a cummins in it. the only thing I put back in to my dodge was a bunch of scrap metal before i took it to the crusher. It was pretty rough and the only reason i bought it was for the motor and tranny anyways.

thanks for the comments i'll get more pics up soon
