I was able to get the crew cab placed onto my 19ft car trailer. This was accomplished by using a tractor w/bucket. The plan worked perfectly, now I have all the parts/pieces I need for the conversion. Right now I am just trying to research and get the above questions answered... ...

Ok folks, I now have a crew cab and short box standing by for my conversion. I do have a few questions... ... ... ... Is the front 2 body/cab mounts the same location for both the club cab & crew cab? Does anyone make replacement crew cab body/cab mounts? How high does the rear floor...

Does anyone know what the weight of the crew cab itself? (minus doors and all of the interior items) I was wondering if 3-4 people could lift the cab or is it just too heavy?

Yes, I absolutely agree! I have never been a fan of body lifts. The truck is already high enough for me. I think notching the rear floor is not a bad job. I have a good wirefeed welder and the floor doesn't require flawless body work. I was able to find someone on Cardomain.com that did the...

Yup! :-laf I am aware of the "hump" in the frame on the club cab. I have heard of several people cutting the crew cab floor (where the rear seat is) to make it work. I have also heard that a large body lift clears the frame. I am curious if any on here has done it?

Thanks for the offer. I am actually interested in putting the crew cab and shortbox onto my 93' W250 chassis. I wonder where the rear cab mounts will have to be placed for the crew cab?

Has anyone used their 1st gen club cab chassis/running gear and swapped on a crew cab & shortbox? I have seen pics of it done once or twice. I am really wanting to do the same thing and would like to talk with someone who has first hand knowledge of the conversion. I specifically would like to...

You are asking about a direct replacement block heater unit? I know Geno's Garage sells them for a great price. They carry the cord and the heating element. Hope this helps!

I was able to shock it a little with the flex-handle and then they would unscrew with a little effort.

Yup, I use Spicer stuff too!

I have not had to repair or replace my 1st gen radiator. I'm sure an industrial radiator shop in the Puget Sound area could get what your looking for. I am just glad that these tanks are not plastic like newer vehicles! :-laf So is the tank leaking or someplace on the fins/core?

My balancer was pretty tight when I took it off for the 1st time. I ended up using a flex-handle w/cheater bar. If your's has never been off, it might be pretty tough.

I could be mistaken, but I thought I remember someone on TDR running a Hughes Converter and then later going to a DTT or Goerend. I honestly want to hear a "real-world" story on someone who started with a stock converter, went to a Hughes, and then swapped in one of the big 3 (DTT, Suncoast...

I have taken my transfer case off twice before. The very first time I don't remember seeing any gasket between the T-case and transmission tail. Both times I ended up using some quick gasket maker called: "The Right Stuff". This stuff comes in a small, black aerosol can. I believe it is pricey...

Nah, I read the thread over @ 1stgen.org I was looking for part#'s regarding the actual low-pressure spring or maybe a low-pressure piston lift pump rebuild kit. Neither part #'s have turned up. I called Cummins NW and no such items are available. The way I see it now, a person has 2 choices...

I am looking to convert my lift pump from a diaphram style to a piston design (seen on 2nd gen 12V's). Has anyone else done this conversion to their 1st gen? I currently have a high pressure piston lift pump and looking to convert it to a low pressure pump (needed for the VE equipped 12V's)...

Glad to see that someone else notices a lack of 1st gen items. Don't get me wrong, I like TDR and all of the items in their magazine. I feel (so does many others) that the 1st gen trucks are becoming a forgotten vehicle of the diesel world. I personally would like to see more items offered by...

Nice to see another local 1st gen owner on here! Just an FYI, we have occasional truck gatherings in the area. PM me for more details. :)

I am only aware of Stan's and Source Automotive systems. Both are highly recommended amoung local 1st gen owners. I have not gone to a 4" yet, but plan to look into these companies.

I have water issues on my driver's side floor. Water always seems to pool up around the bottom of the kickpanel/vent. The carpet is wet and everything is soaked under my rubber floor mat. I do believe it is either the windshield gasket, cowl crack, or the vent is not sealing from the outside. I...
