01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1lowdiesel · 11-19-2009, 09:36 PM

well now that i have pretty much everything i need to get this going i can start a thread on it. i know it's not a dmax but an oil burner none the less.

i started with a rcsb 2wd 99 1500. the truck was hit in the front and the frame was tweaked. so, i bought nick's (gmracer) old frame. it is already body dropped and ready to go. i will be swapping everything from the crashed truck over to the new frame.

it'll have f9000s in the back and re7s in the front. std parallel 4 link w/ a panhard out back. i also have a tank out of a toyota that i'm going to try to use but i'll probably just wind up making a fuel cell once it comes down to it.

But, while i have everything apart i might as well put the 6bt cummins i have in. the motor is a 91 and only has 110k miles on it. it's an auto 4sp w/ overdrive. i'm not going to go nuts right away on the engine b/c i don't have the money to put a rear in it right now. i will be putting on a 60mm turbo, 3200 rpm gsk and tweaking the pump a bit. i will also be doing a shift kit and converter as well. with that set up i should be good for somewhere around 350hp and 700lbft. i'm going to try and keep the a/c as well as put in electric fans and an intercooler.

the truck will be set up for 17s or 18s on a 31" tire. i'm going to try and use the factory harness and cluster, providing it's not a nightmare. worse comes to worse i have another cluster i can put some auto meter gauges in.

i'm hoping to be able to drive this truck everyday and get around 25-30mpg out of it.

72BlckButy · 12-01-2009, 04:15 PM

1lowdiesel · 12-05-2009, 02:22 PM

1lowdiesel · 01-27-2010, 04:30 PM

small update. i finally got to get back to work on this thing. i got the motor sitting in the chassis under it's own weight, made a trans mount and manaaged to get the cab over it. i've marked out what needs to be cut on the cab so maybe i'll get to that this weekend. i broke my foot sunday so it'll be fun gimping around.

1lowdiesel · 02-04-2010, 06:56 PM

1lowdiesel · 02-09-2010, 04:08 PM

thanks guys. yea it sucks and is really slowing me down. driving left footed is no fun either. the snow is killing me too looks like it's gonna be 3 weeks now i don't get to go to the shop.

rare86 · 03-03-2010, 11:01 PM

I will be keeping up with this one. Awesome build. on a side note, I have a 50 Dodge with less than 60000 miles on it, all original, and a blast to drive. Not a rocket by all means, but if you have the Fluid Drive transmission, it is fun to drive as well. I will be watching this build, love it.

Driveway Dreams · 03-04-2010, 12:51 PM
