'82 ctd crew cab, parts needed

[TKentch]

I am beginning a '82 dodge crew cab conversion. I bought a recked '96 2500 4x4 5spd for my doner truck because of the inline pump and coil-sprung front end, and am having trouble finding first gen. parts.



The '82 is a ex forest service truck, long box, and came with a 4spd and a 318 (which had already been pulled to make room for a 440) and no ac. a real bare bones work truck.



My plans for the truck are to build a custom frame out of 7x3 1/4 wall square tubing using the '96 front-end and a Kore race suspension kit with a ford hi-pinion D-60 and a short box.



For the interior i want to ad ac get better seats and dynamat the firewall and floor to make it a little quieter on the inside. Also did the crews ever have head-liners? I have read that the diesels have different peddles, so will i need to get ones from a diesel? Did the diesels use a hydraulic actuated clutch like the '96?



As far as the engine goes i am adding a 24 valve head and an ats manifold w/ a holset he431v variable geometry turbo and a worked over pump.



I finally found a inter-cooled radiator support but am desperately in need of a wiring harness because all the wiring on mine is shot. The pickup that i got the support out of was so trashed i was surprised that the support was still good.

Would the cab harness out of a '91 gasser be the same as the diesels or not? The reason I ask is because the pickup that i got the short box off of is a gasser.

Does anybody know if there is aftermarket harnesses for the first gen. diesels or any kind of an aftermarket parts supplier like lmc for these trucks?



if anybody has a first gen. parts truck please let me know as i am looking for these parts:



cab and engine wiring harnesses

a whole hvac system (evaporator and condenser)

"cummins" instrument bessel



or a complete dash out of a diesel, tan colored, w/hvac system



new style door panels w/ man door locks and windows, again tan

if possible rears also?



steering column out of '91 '92 '93



peddles out of a 5spd diesel?



thanx,

tyler

Also did the crews ever have head-liners?

No the crews were painted steel.



I think the pedals are the same between the gassers and a diesel truck.



The 1st gens used a hyd clutch.



The gasser harness is different from a diesel model. The gasser was a throttle body setup for 91.

On that conversion , im not shure if you will be able to bolt a 24v head on a 12 v block



you basicly dont really need the deisel harness if your running a mechanical engine just power on and off to the pump and for the grid heater a push button switch and your good to go
