Looking good. What are the specs on it? Leaving the Dana 44 up front?

Not sure what's going on with pics, when I posted it it was fine.

As far as specs....

Got the 79 locally , had been sitting a long time outside. Someone tried to mimick a Macho paintjob. Sort of attracted me to the truck. It's unique.

Waiting on swapping the d60 in, it needs a reseal and u joints.

The 93 was completely rotted out, unsafe to drive. So, in the Cummins went.

Rebuilt the floors on the 79, soundproofed and bedlined. Doors from the 93 for now. 93 core support modified slightly to utilize 79 grille.

Have a HE351 waiting to go on. Down the line I have a s400 based turbo for compounds. Going to need fuel.

Sort of a rat truck...with some torque 8)

I hope that copper tubing is a temporary thing. Copper reacts with the diesel and will form a scale that will plug the tubing after a while. I've seen it, but don't know how long it takes, maybe a few years.

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

The copper ends at the bed and meets with rubber fuel line. I believe a reaction only happens with biodiesel/wvo, etc...

Diesel watercraft commonly use copper line.

I'll keep an eye on it, though.
