Cummins/82 C10

[ellis93]

Well more progress

Got the AC working,it'll chunk ice cubes at you . The pressures are perfect

Also got the wing and side glass in. also tinted them along with the back glass.

Its got a pretty good stance too with the 30yr old springs under there.

Also just bought about 200$ of ball joints and idler/Pitman arms
I ordered some poly bushing for the front end about 2weeks ago off of Ebay,I'm still waiting on them

Ellis, if you end up wanting more poly bushings, I have an Energy Suspension Hyperflex Master kit on my parts shelf, and no Chevy anymore. Been looking to unload it for awhile now.

Nice project btw,

[ellis93]

I'm emailing the Ebay seller again this morning to cancel the sale.....I will send you a pm when I here back from them. Thanks for the offer

[ellis93]

Well.....progress is slow due to my attention being directed toward a set of cabinets but I like building cabinets too

Tore the front end down as the Ebay seller finally set the damn bushing Kit I ordered,after Ebay put the squeeze to him. I also got 50$ back from the original amount. I got nothing but excesses from this ass on why they weren't sent out. For future reference....don't buy from an Ebay seller until you read their feedback

Like I said fronts tore down. Waiting on bushings and springs.



I bought some 86 half ton springs that is suppose to be stock replacement for the trucks that sported a 6.2 diesel. We'll see how they stand up

[PToombs]

Stand up? More like lay down!

[ellis93]

We will see I guess . I think the weight of that Detroit/GM diesel is on pare for weight to weight comparison. It is all cast after all.....but no turbo

[dazedandconfused]

The old 6.2-6.5 were a few hundred pounds lighter then the Cummins but they should work.

[ellis93]

I'm hoping Andy.....I don't really want to be tearing into the suspension to often to replace springs. Yes I already know the balljoints are gonna be a yearly thing,hope the moog stuff last that long anyhow

[dazedandconfused]

I need to put all my new parts in mine, it would probably handle better then. A full dressed 6.5 was under 1000 pounds.

[ellis93]

I've seen several different weights for a Cummins.....1175.....1090lbs it's hard to believe what's right. I know that the 6.2 is along the same dressed weight as a 454....those things rub 1k

[dazedandconfused]

My Chevy crew cab had 3500 6.2 springs in it that were wore out and it held the Cummins.

[ellis93]

Sweet

[ellis93]

Finally got them....

You can't really tell in the pic but they are about a 1/4 thicker than the others

[Tacoclaw]

It's all about the girth.
