Fenders will be trimmed 8” in the front to clear some 42’s.

Original swap was done in 2012 just after I joined this Forum
That engine turned out to be a oil burner
A fresh engine was built and installed in 2016 along with a front suspension swap
Still have a use the truck today

Since its one submission per person (with a total of five pics max) and I've got two swap trucks, I'll just do two pics of each and link the build threads. Both build threads are kinda long, but if you just scroll through the pictures in the build threads, you'll get the idea of what's happened to both.

1st one; a 2010 F250. Was a 6.4 PSD, now has a 180hp P pump Cummins from a 97 Dodge. Pretty mild build, still running the Ford 5R110 automatic. It's now the daily driver of my 16 year old son.

Brought it home like this (because the 6.4 PSD was junk like most are).


Currently looks like this under the hood.



Full build thread here;



2nd one; A 2005 Ford Excursion. Started as 6.0 PSD with an automatic, now has a 215hp P pump Cummins and NV4500 manual trans from a 96 Dodge. This is a little more extensive build than the first one. This one is .020 overbore with Mahle motorsports pistons, Colts cams stage three cam, Manton valve springs and an SXE 362 turbo.

Also towed this one home, although it did actually run.



Here's what it looks like under the hood now.



It's also been lifted, new wheels & tires and a custom homemade front winch bumper. All of which can been seen in the build thread below.


Both are running and driving well. The F250 has about 10-12K miles on it with the Cummins, the Excursion only has about 1K miles on it so far. Neither are "done", as there is always something else that I want to do.

My conversion

Okay here's my submission,

Started as a 1981 chevy k10, I wrecked it and planned on rebuilding and started with a new frame and axles, and it spiraled into a 94 12v swap with an nv4500 trans. Pretty basic stuff, and I'm far from done, but here's a link to the video of my first drive in her!

(I owe this forum and members a LOT of credit, also I had to throw in the 6th pic because my daughter cracks me up. And she likes the thing more than I do )

Here's my work-in-progress:
1978 Ford F-250 Ranger 4x4. My dad bought it when I was born in 1986, and gave it to me when I started driving in high school. I always loved the truck as a kid, have a lot of memories with it and I'm still creating more. Me and Dad have both taken good care of it and pretty much know it inside and out. It used to have a 400 v8 paired to a C6 auto. For years I planned on dropping in a 460, but never got around to it. Once I had the facilities to properly work on this thing, I had warmed up to the idea of putting a Cummins in it, so I found a 1994 2nd gen 12 valve with 285,000 miles, with NV4500 and a Dana 80 rear I could use too.

I rebuilt/re-sealed the Cummins, with great help from many here including GAmes, dauntless89, Destroked 450, and others.
I also have to thank many others who have done similar Cummins Ford swaps, including Antonm, ChaseTruck, Art, bryanmartin, co425, and many more. Without them having paved the way, I'd have never even contemplated this swap.

Here's a link to my engine rebuild/reseal thread here:

Here's a link to my swap thread here:

And here's a link to my swap thread at the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum, which has many more updates to the swap progress:

Here's a photo of my Dad not long after he bought the truck in 1986. He built that custom bumper out of Indiana underground gas pipe.



Here's a picture I took of it when I was about 9 years old:




Here's a somewhat recent picture of it, before I started the swap:





Here's a picture of the rebuilt Cummins 12 valve I put in it:




And a picture of where it's at now:





And here's a short video of it's first drive, recently uploaded to YouTube:
