4 doors - let's build one more...

[draginmopars]

we got side tracked bought a 93 cummins 5-speed/ 11ft. bed
it needed lots of work- brakes, tires,all u-joints,windshield,remove the tool boxes, paint
got that done..





Ramp Truck-
worked on the engine, did- KDP, took ex. manifold off to drill for the pyro
saw mismatched ports...
pulled the head and match ported the head, manifold and turbo
then decided to go 5-speed instead of auto.




Then had a tree block our driveway, took a few days to clean-up


As of now, trying to figure out
how to mount fuel tank
was in cab,Now rear frame mount
but the cross members are different heights
73 won't work, designed wrong 7"
90 is 6 1/2" tall
93 is 7 1/2" tall

[draginmopars]

yes, it's magnetic- here the chuck kit #

[ahale2772]

thanks!

ours has a center pin that kinda locates the hole.... was that the same style before you bought the chuck? the one we have uses special bits that are flat faced like an end mill, yet they have a hole down the center

[PToombs]

Alex, that's a slugger bit. Or at least that's what we used to call them at the maintenance company.

[ahale2772]

they work nice but sometimes they wont drill enough because they dont cut in that center section (at least on thick steel)

made drilling through the double rails on the 359 a hassle

[draginmopars]

remove set screws
un thread adapter
replace with new adapter/drill chuck

gayle got the interior and door post painted

[draginmopars]

fuel tank mounted

had to step the cargo floor
because of the tank
got most of the pieces cut
1" corregated alum. aircraft floor

will use the upper level
to store
the spare tire

[Tacoclaw]

I bet that's a big swing on that rotisserie. Looking good.


Alex, we use those bits specifically to drill all our big truck frames. You just got to pull them back out after each layer and let it eject the chip.

seems like when you drill a thick piece it gums up the needle and is too much to push out....

way easier than sweatin and swearing at a regular drill tho...

sorry to hyjack

[draginmopars]

getting ready to do the fuel lines,wiring for the rear.
First
-moved the cargo door hinges
never did like them, having to crawl over to get to things

[draginmopars]

was asked about locks for the cargo door.
used trunk locks from two Darts



the rest of the info is here ( easier to read there than transfer all the info here)
I'm lazy lol

While needing more wire for the tail light (92 diesel wasn't long enough.)
and wanting to keep the 1973 apperance, used a 73 tail panel,
need 7' , so, unpluged the haress, at the kick panel
still got more trimming and fitting to do and make a middle panel to join them together.
