I've got my eye on a crew. If he happens to let the cummins truck go without the crew, you can have the front core support and grille. I'll be using my 93's front.

I suspect I can rig the gas core support, but I'd be wise to take you up on that offer. Let me know if that deal works out.

The deal on CL fell through. I showed up with cash and a trailer. I was reeling him in on $550 because the sheet metal was so clean and the engine ran so well, but he had to talk to his wife and she said $850 so I walked. If anyone wants a cab donor, there you go. The rockers, cab supports, and drip rail all appeared to be good.

The fellow in Illinois called back and it looks like he can take care of me for under $500. He'll get back with me once he checks his inventory. It'd be real hard to turn up my nose at $500 and a day's travel to get back on the road.

I decided I MUST have the torque of an inline 6. Dad's big V8 doesn't cut it. :lol:

I don't know Andy, I was told there was no substitute for more inches. :? Oh, that was something else! :oops:

No substitute for CUBIC inches, that's it! :mrgreen:

Yeah there's no replacement for displacement. There's also no replacement for compression ignition inline 6's. They're just better. What was the topic again?

I went up and paid that Jeff fellow a visit. He's good people. I took home a driver's door, inner fenders, a driver's side fender, core support, radiator, grille, and hood. I'll zip it together tomorrow afternoon.

I need to pressure test my intercooler yet. I'm not sure if it survived.

Maybe. I have some blue paint left. Painting doesn't bother me. Body work on the other hand...
