1994 F250 4x4 Single Cab Long Bed 12 Valve Swap
Today is day one. Negotiations with my buddy who is selling me his 1994 F250 Single Cab Long Bed 4x4 for $3500 delivered. Truck only has 100k original miles however it doesn’t run. I’m ok with that because I plan on swapping to a 12 valve. I have tons of questions and am new to swaps...
www.cumminsforum.com
I’ll throw my hat in the ring...
My current 12V swap got put on the back burner for the past year because i smooshed my foot while racing dirtbikes. 1971 Ford Highboy 12v Cummins swap NV4500 NP241
I originally bought a 95 12V single cab from Copart back in 2012. The front frame horns were pretty bent, but i drove is live that for about 4 years. I then stumbled upon an early 98 extra cab body and frame roller. I bought the 98 roller and swapped in my 95’s engine, tranny, T case. Then about 2 years later a car pulled out in front of me and i T-boned it. It totaled out the truck big time. Thank God the 3 identical triplet girls in the T boned car didn’t die! The after quite a few years i decided to swap the Cummins into my 71 Ford Highboy. I’m getting closer to getting finished, but i’m still searching for the perfect radiator for my particular application (i want to have both an intercooler and an AC condenser WITHOUT having to trim back my grill).
All my Ford has ever seen is work. I installed a hydraulic dump bed years ago, and rarely does it ever see less than 4000lbs of weight in the bed (the most weight i’ve had in the bed was 4-3/4 tons)!
I absolutely loved my 95 cummins and i absolutely love my 71 Ford, so maybe it’s a match made in heaven?

Basically new to this forum and just saw this. Any chance I can slip my 1971 Dodge school bus in the running still or am I officially to late?
A little more information about it can be found in the introduction I just made.
The Bus
The quick rundown of The Bus.
A 1971 Dodge W300 Power Wagon School Bus that was used in the mountains of Colorado to get children to school in the winter and later continued it's rugged mountain life as an elk hunting vehicle.
I bought it as a shell sitting in a field and have completely restored the exterior(new paint, lights, ect.) and swapped in new axles, a 12v Cummins, and a new manual transmission.
It is now running and driving, but does still need some finishing touches (wire management, finish rebuilding the firewall, and get the hood on)
I am currently renovating the interior to make the most badass and rugged 4wd home on wheels you've ever seen.
