Lookin good man, I hope one of these days I can line out a Cummins swap...oh well, the good ole 6.2 does fine for now....I can dream. keep up the good work! :metal:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Don't dream haha, that's what I started to do and kept looking at swaps and then next thing you know i found a motor and I've kinda started the swap and I only had my 6.2 running for 4 months. :lol:

i think growing idea's getting outah hand are the norm in the hotrod world , i guess thats why there so many unfinished projects

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

That's the story with this truck. First it was going to be a 427 tall deck, SM465 5 speed with NP205 and a D44HD front. That didn't last long. :lol: Then it had a VE 12v in it with a NV4500. Then a P-pumped 12v with a 47RH in it. Now a P-pumped 24v and a NV4500 with a dual disc clutch, and compound turbos. Plus, a entire different body, and axles from 2 different eras of dodges. :lol:

On Sunday my wife helped me hold the glass up so I could get my window in. I forgot to put the regulator in first, and had a real fun time putting this side together. Oh boy, these doors are fun. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

yeah, I only have one "replacement" door on mine so far, and I forgot to put the mirror on first (2wd style)... that was a pain... I did however install new regulator first :)

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

:lol:Don't get an over dose of fun it could get ugly!:lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Wow Ryan the truck is looking great!! Getting closer!

So when are you coming to Idaho to help me with my cold air intake??

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Yeah, I hear you there. It did almost get ugly because I wasn't feeling good and I was about ready to beat the door. :lol:

You may have your truck done before I get time to come out there. :lol: Yeah, I'm pretty sure you will. :chevy:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Looking good...
Your really making progress now....I better pick up the pace and keep up

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks, but you are building like 3 trucks at once man. :lol:

No big progress, but my painter did get my cowl panel done and I picked it up. It actually looks really nice.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Looking bad ass man, hopefully this truck will be done when you bring me my cummins. I want to see this thing. And maybe ride in it :lol: :metal:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Nice progress Ryan, this is going to be one awesome truck when its on the the streets:burnout:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks! After the past couple weeks, I think I might get on finding the pieces to get my a/c going on it too. Having no vehicles with a/c sucks the big one!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Ahh, by the time its all hooked up you wont need it!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks Dick!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

:lol: Just trying to help where I can and givie you some motivation!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

A/C in the shop would be better motivation. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

That is true, A/C in the shop would be very nice to have.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Just do what i do ......get a bigger beer fridge and if you leave the door open enough it cools the shop. It also helps to motivate the shop trolls to show up and help more.....lol

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

do you have some sort of lake or well nearby ?
you could allso use a swamp cooler , a friend of mine made its own out of a big ass fan and a truck radiator , he trew a submersible pump in the lake behind his house to circulate cool water trough the radiator and it cools his place about 10 degrees celcius on a hot day

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

swamp coolers are useless in iowa. the humidity is so high that your sweat doesnt even evaporate. it is misery. here in the fiery high desert swamp coolers can actually make you shiver. i still prefer the beauty of refrigerated air though.
