Seems you know more than I do! Guess you are hired! :-laf

 

[Shadrach]

Yes but can he work in the snow? :-laf Shadrach

 

[gtoli]

It snows here! Even got down below 0* F a few times this winter.

 

[Shadrach]

I do realize it snow in AZ. We have a heat wave going here. It was above 40*F today Could we have some of your excess summer heat for next winter :-laf Shadrach

 

[gtoli]

We're in the 60's and 70's during the day now. But I know there's still one more freeze waiting around the corner, always is. Unlike the low country, we don't have much excess heat. Usually stays around 100, tops.

 

[Simplysmn]

Hey Gtoli I see your in Winslow AZ do you by chance know the guy right off the 40 on the left side has a bunch of crazy Vehicles? if you ever wanna see some crazy stuff go take a look he has some Wild stuff

BSchwarzli-
You build the truck I've been dreaming about since 05, after I traded my first cummins for my wife's car. :{
So far, the only major difference between my dream and your reality, is the 10 foot flat bed dump, and the second tank as a transfer tank, and an eaton 9 speed.
I even dreamed about putting a Crew and Club Cab together! Can you say First Gen Mega Cab?
Any who, awesome job on the build. If you're ever in the Pacific Northwest, let me know. I would love to see this rig, and talk with the builder. Oo.

Awesome thread!!!

I have a 93 4wheel drive, and I just found an 84 cab/frame I am trying to purchase to start my 1st gen crew!!

 

[Simplysmn]

If you miss out on the 84 let me know I also have a body n frame available .

 

[pwerwagn]

Awesome, Thank you!!!

 

[RSchwarzli]

Yes get it going! We need more of these trucks converted! Oo.

 

[pwerwagn]

Im starting a new thread... to get some input.

 

[Shadrach]

Robert thought I'd let you know of another Cummins powered Crew Cab. This one is a 91 and is for sale in Northern BC, near Prince George. It appears to be from Alberta. Unfortunately it is rusty. :{ I don't know if it was converted when new like yours. If it was it's the first dually I've seen, other than yours1991 Dodge Power Ram 3500 Pickup Truck - Prince George Cars For Sale - Kijiji Prince George Canada.

[RSchwarzli]

Nice catch there Shadrach! Makes me cry looking at that! It has been so abused!



My guess is it would likely be off the same builder as mine as the dash and interior are the exact same type of swap mine was. Also the fact that it is listed as a 91 says it has the newer title.



Interesting. I head somewhere they thought the place made 30 or so of the conversions. Wonder how true that is and how many more are still out there.

 

[JHumphries]

Both of the late model crew cabs found have been 4x2. Has anyone seen a 4x4 yet?
