Re: Project Family Chummins

Man great build, I am going to throw a strong suggestion at you however. DONT DITCH YOUR CHEVY FRAME!!!

Auto world in great falls Montana makes all the stuff you need to BOLT that Cummins right into your truck.

As well you can get a kid to put leaf springs in the front, then all you will have to do is chop off the coil buckets and weld some plate in their place. This is much less labor intensive than trying to stretch that dodge frame then trying to build all the frame mounts to match.

THE GMT 400 is a great truck. You are going to love it when you get done.

Also you can get the fuel level sender for a 6.5 diesel truck that will replace the in tank pump and be guaranteed to work with your Chevy gauges.

If you need any help sourcing the parts drop me a line. I will be watching your build for sure, I think it is going to be a great truck done right.
