Yes in my opinion I think it's resting place will be the scrap yard, when it rolled at 60mph the cab mounts and flatbed mounts were tore off, frames tweaked, cab also is tweaked, but motor, trani, t-case, wheels, axles, interior parts, and other parts in great shape, after I pull everything I want or need she'll get hauled out

Oh hell! I didn't realize it got iced going that fast!

 

[Brenan Smith]

Will have more pictures in the near future, also replaced any other gaskets/seals I could find, I haven't gotten to the injection pump/power steering pump, and exhuast gaskets yet but will take pictures when I do, still doing more things to the motor so I will keep all ya'lls posted.

Can't wait to see how this one turns out love cummins swapped chevys. If I had the money and knowledge in diesels I would definatly cummins swap my 89 K2500.

Looks good so far! I noticed a lot of the Cummins fanboys I've talked to didn't realize the big flaw in their "Indestructible" 5.9L, but other than that I don't think of anything else wrong with these motors.

Well,

The fact GM didn't put them in 400s is pretty wrong now that I think of it...

Got the pumps on everything's all in time

Only have a few more things to go on the motor and it will be ready for paint and polishing!

Nice build! How's the frame on that crew cab? Depending on your location, I may be interested when you get to that point. I'm in Michigan.
