bagging & body droping a 81 crew cab Dually & cummins swap

thx bear im going to try and get it too droptout this year its coming along im starting to get the front end buttoned up so i can move it and get it over to the other garage that way i can do everything i need to in a nice warm garage im going to shave my firewall and wait for the motor so i can send the wire harness out to get re wired to make it a 3 wire hook up 12volt constant power 12 volt ignition and fuel pump that is all that will need hooked up and he is going to tune my pcm and turn off all the unnecessary stuff and get me cruise control haha for them long drives

i didnt know that was the reason for the reverse coolant flow but i do now! that makes alot of sense.

well i got The new dash conversion for the 81 crew cab come out of a 07 silverado and the steering column should be here tomorrow cant wait here is of the pic of the one im getting its going to be repainted so i dont care about the color

i got some goodies today in the mail hahaha i cant wait to start mocking the motor and dash up

hurry up and test fit that dash! lol. im anxious to see it! as soon as my student loan comes in im gonna get mine! lol.

i got the front end together now i just have to weld the axle in place so i can move it to the other garage so i can start cutting the fire wall up and get the new dash mocked up and the motor in

well i started to rip the motor down so i can clean it up and powder coat some things on the motor in gun metal gray and paint my block black i got the wire harness off getting that shipped out this week and we built a big ass sand blast cabinet so i can sand blast all my parts

Nice cabinet.
