About the closest your going to get to a pure 1st gen meet is PDR's 1st gen dyno day. Whenever they have them. The other is this meet.

You can get head gasket kits from your local Cummins shop. When you pull the head, have it milled flat, and then you can get . 010,. 020,. 030, thicker head gaskets in accordance with how much the machine shop takes off to make it flat.



I've not shopped for head studs in a while, but most any performance shops can get them for you. Pete Toombs here should be able to hook you up with a local shop to you.

Thanks for the responses. MMiller i see you have 38s on your 90'. How much lift are you running?

Micheal's truck isn't to high. I am 6' and I only needed a 3 foot step ladder to get in. :-laf:-laf





Just kidding.

Hey, you've never even seen that truck in person!:-laf I'm bringing it to SOP the next time and making Scott put a governor spring in it!!! Seriously though, when I purchased the 90, it already had the lift springs in it, and the previous owner forgot what they were. I believe it has a 6" spring lift, and lots of fender trimming. The front opening of the fender goes right through the turn signal hole, and the rear cut about even with the front of the cab. It was rusty and dented retired farm truck when I got it, and I put lockers and swampers on it, and its my trail pig. Still working on a 47re/rh to switch out the 727.
