Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Ryan,
My dad has been working on the peterpilt pickup idea for about 20years That is about the time he channeled the cab:lol:
The cab is a early to mid 40s with the vents on the cowl and is narrower than the next generation.The radatior shell is steel so it will be easy to modifyinto a core support.He had a piece of 10 guage bent up to make longer sides so the shell will look taller and cover the front of the frame.
The front axle is that he will use is a 5" drop out of a1ton GMC bread truck.
The front fenders will be the flat radiused off highway style.
I am glad He is getting going on it for 2 reasons
it is cool! And I will get my axles and other parts for my 72 project:lol:

Has anyone tried running H1 master cylinders? H1's have 4 wheel discs on GM truck hydroboost. I see them on eBay often. Was thinking trying that on my burb.

Do you have a build thread on your nova, or more info? I have 64 that is getting a 250 and a t5.

I decided to go ahead and add speed warning to my truck. Here are pics of the cluster now. I've got a new bezel coming, and I have a new lens being modified for it. It should add to the cool factor a bit. :lol:

If my gauge cluster looks upside down like that it would be a speed warning for me too.

It appears right side up for me. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Would you be kind enough to post some pics and measurements of your hood latch setup?!

I have been waiting for you to master this part for awhile. :P

But on a high note! I bought a billet input and DTT Stage 2 rebuild kit for my 47RH!

By the way, I still need one of them classy diesel tachs! ;)

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Ryan, i just got through reading your thread... what a piece of crap.

I think you should give up and ill buy it off you for 1500 bucks, ill even load it myself...

Just trying to do you a favor, better yet ill trade you my piece of crap suburban for this piece of crap straight up. Deal?

lol

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

Looking good Ryan!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I am thinking about making my BB 93 crewcab dually into a swap project. Does someone make a kit for that swap ....I thought if anyone knew you would.....lol

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

might just do a front rollpan instead of a bumper should be eazy to bend up sumtin from a strip of sheetmetal

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

He will more than likely end up with a bumper similar to this... Possibly..

pure sex!


looks great

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks guys. At least it's a sexy lawn ornament now. Haha :mm:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I don't think these guys have a kit, but it's the best parts on the market to do it. They have engine mounts, cross members (where needed), a/c comp brackets, pulleys, tach adapters, and all kinds of stuff. www.autoworldmt.com 406-727-8915 Ask for Dawna.
