01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
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. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_1901.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_1897.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3350.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3335.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3360.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3312.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3316.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3320.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...k/DSC_3324.jpg xhttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...DSC_3340-1.jpg |

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
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.

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
Any updates? Hurry up and heal so we can see some progress! J/k, sorry to hear about your foot, and you have one awesome build.
|
Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
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.

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
I just stumbled across this build. All I can say is, ":jdp:". Very nice build.

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
thanks guys. it's getting there.
yea i've already got an 05 GMC front end lined up. i'm also going to do an 01-02 Chevy HD hood. i have a rendering being done too, hopefully that'll be done within the next few weeks. i think you guys will like the color combo. i finished putting all the floor panels back in this morning too. just forgot the camera at the shop. gotta work tomorrow but hopefully i'll be able to get the cab back off sunday and weld everything up. then i'll be able to mat the floor and start on the 4 link. i'm shooting to have it as a roller by the end of the month. oh yea the duramax might be for sale soon. |

Re: 01 rcsb 1500 bagged and bodydropped... oh it's got a cummins
almost got the floor done and i ran out of welding gas. decided to paint and mat what i had done. also decided i might as well tube the wiper cowl for when i'm gonna run a hood stack :) i also made up a control arm jig cause i think i'm gonna make some arms and see how they work.

I don't see a stack on the rendering. Must have been a last minute addition huh?
