Cummins/82 C10

[ellis93]

Ellis to brother; "Perfect, it misses! Go get me a beer!"

Something like that Pete


Cooler and rad is IN



There is no way the fan clutch will clear with a reasonable amount of room
Bummers

rad cap is real close to the hood too
Look how far it sticks up above the core support


There has been absolutely no position that I stick the dodge condenser in the core tjat has it fit. Still working on it

[ellis93]

Cooler tubes went on without trimming them. I saved that for this morning thinking I was going to have to cut'em in half and shorten them.


I glad they went on like that cause it gave alittle time for me to Dick with this

Mr Pete you know you like it

[PToombs]

Thanks a lot! I just threw up my keyboard a little bit. You should have put the "Cummins" in the chevy emblem or something. It looks weird with both of them. Actually, that sounds like a good idea, Either blue or orange for the chevy bowtie, with "Cummins" thru the middle, Or maybe smaller and towards the upper half.

Well Pete...I'm glad your such a fan it's pretty much staying as is,it's not really what I wanted...it's what I got from ol'sis in law

I like it anyhow

I did order 200$ worth of stuff off of Ebay tho. A condenser,universal AC hose Kit and a 0-90 ohm fuel sender today. As the dodge condenser was giving me fits fitting I found this hotrod builders condenser that measures 11x21 and should let me mount it to the cooler so I can retain my hood safety latch. The hose Kit will be a time saver too,the place that custom builds them for me is about 60mile from me so it's kinda out of the way. The fittings that come with it are crimp style so I'll have to con the local coop into mashing them on with the hydro hose crimper they have.....should work out
The fuel sender I ordered will be for the fuel cell im gonna build. I want a 40 gallon tank and they cost to much,so I bought some plate

[RCCUMMINS89]

Ellis.............you do good work, I do have to say that.

I like it........only if I had the patience when I put mine together I wouldn't have to do stuff already

[ellis93]

I appreciate that Eric

Started striping the cab,hopefully it'll come off this afternoon to become scrap

[PToombs]

C'mon, a Sis in Law isn't really family! My wife and I both hate her brothers wife, she's a know it all that won't let him barely go the bathroom by himself. Since the kids left they're joined at the hip, or someplace.

[ellis93]

Got alittle farther on it
Cab is striped and rolled to the rear of the frame. Gonna start cutting the floor out of it in a day or so.

Got the trans X member made and mounted



Also my 200$ worth of AC stuff and sending unit came in

I'm not happy with the condenser,its twisted alittle from poor shipper packaging or lack there of really.

[PToombs]

Oh, like it won't get twisted when that mighty Cummins wads up that tinfoil 1/2 ton chevy frame?

[ellis93]

Mr Pete I'm looking for another frame to cut down to box this one with......in the future

It's not an easy hunt Seems every motard around scraped everything that was heavy and these old trucks were on the list I guess. I did however find a 3+3 dually . If I can sweet talk the old lady that owns it to sell it to me I might have another Cummins swap in my future .......might be the end of the old dodge too.

[PToombs]

Now you're starting to sound like Caleb, screwing some old lady to get her truck! (Although I'm sure you mean figuratively and he did it literally! )

I also just meant that I wouldn't worry about a little twist in it.

Gotta "flesh out" the details some how

[ellis93]

Dang TMI DUDES!

Don't have any pics but new(er) cab is on,holes welded,AC cut outs welded in. I'm tired

[PToombs]

Good one Caleb!

[ellis93]

Update! I've made progress
Cab is silver.....in side and jambs anyhow

Got the AC box install along with the booster an brake saddle

Got some of the dash put in

Glued in the headliner and started screwing the extremely brittle plastic trim in

The headliner is faded out pretty bad and the trim is off colored as well It'll have to do for now.....least till I find more pieces. I may just find some of the interior paint ive used in the past,or might call an upholstery shop to see if they can put some sexy in this thing.....after it runs awhile
