just picked up a crew cab

[oconnellrb]

83 crew cab 4x4 prospector. It had a second gen motor and auto trans (that he kept) divorced to a 205 transfer case. The truck is set up for second gen motor mounts. I have a non intercooled motor and 518 trans that i want to put in, can i put second gen mounts on my motor and bolt it right in?

thanks Ryan

Also need help posting pics thanks!

Yes you can. The block bolt pattern is the same.

Thats nice someone esle did the prep work for you.

[cummins king]

are you going to biuld it with twins

keep us updated

[oconnellrb]

twins I'll be happy if i can get it running with the single hx 35 that ive had for a while. where is the best place to get the motor mounts. I also need the part number for the intercooled t-housing and a good place to get the radiator from.

thanks Ryan

sweet ... is that a short box ?

i've got a dodge crewcab short box / diesel project running in the back of my mind for a long while now .

[PToombs]

I don't want you to take this personal, but, You Suck!
I wish I could find something like that! With the prep already done, makes life easy. Looks like you lucked out, good find.

[oconnellrb]

yes its a short bed. as far as i know they never made a crew cab long bed 4x4.

locally there is a '76 2x4 crew cab long box . at least a 3/4 , maybe even a 1 ton . 318 4 speed
it is a former deptarment of transportation truck , so it might have been a special order . from what i could see , the frame wasn't cut and stretched .

i would have bought it if it wasn't so rusty ( there's not much left to weld to too , it's that bad ) .


anyways .... you stepped in something good there

[oconnellrb]

they made 2wd crew cab long boxs but not 4x4

[PToombs]

I was going to say, I saw crew longs on the Government Liquidation website. After that post, I remember they were 2wd.

[cummins king]

so what years did dodge make the crew cabs

[RumbleFish]

1985 was the last year of production

oconnelrb, I've got some 2nd gen motor mounts, if you need some. Dang, don't let me near that truck, I might talk you out of it.
