I put the dually fender lights on mine, but they aren't that great. All 4 are cracked. They were alot better than what was on my truck though. I'll sell the roof markers and harness from the parts truck. I'll PM ya.

What about the dash pad from the parts truck? Did you use it? If not will it fit an '84?
Thanks

I didn't use it, but it does have a crack. I'll take it out and see how it looks. Just a guess but I got the impression it's going to crack more when I remove it. We'll see.

Been a while since I've been able to update. The site wasn't letting me post until I deleted the cookie.

Anyways, I'm actively searching for a good 12 valve cummins, preferably 94+ and a NV4500. Cosmetically it's coming along nicely. It's all one color now. No dents. Got a new tailgate. Now it just needs a paint job, bags and a diesel. I've been looking and found you can put a 6bt in a square without a body lift or 4x4.

Almost forgot. I bought some parts. RE7's and 8's, cups, and a cool gadget from a heavy duty truck. On the 6bt the powersteering pump is gear driven. I found a power steering pump with an air compressor on the back. It's rated at 175psi and something like 10cfm at 90. Better than my garage compressor. Now I just need an engine to bolt it to.

I'd love to do a Cummins swap myself.

I'm having a hard time finding a motor now. There is a local guy with a 4bt that I might take instead. 250hp is very doable with a 4bt, and it already has a chevy trans adapter.

I'd still really like to run a 94+ 12v. It's stupid easy to make gobs of power and torque.

I think I'm going to tear into the front end. I have a few days off work between jobs. I have all new everything just about. 3" dropped spindles and RE-7's. Still don't have valves or a tank.

Do I have to have cups or plates for the bags? It looks like they aren't needed.

Been a while since I updated. Got a stereo installed with a Pioneer 12 behind the seat. Bought bucket seats and console. Not sure if I'm going to use them. Thinking of getting a set for the rear too. That will give me more subwoofer options.

It's going to be a while still before I can bag it. My budget has been pretty tight lately. Been tempted to cut the springs...

Part way through shaving the tailgate handle. I picked up the brushed aluminum trim from a Jimmy tailgate at the junk yard. Should look nice. I'll post some pics when it's done.

Any one know where to get stock tailgate lights?

I've actually been driving it now that gas is down. I've been getting just shy of 10mpg mixed driving.
