Re: Bought this yesterday.... 1953 4100 Wrecker...
Cool build. The ditymax would have been a much better fit in the engine bay, but that 12-V Cummins is hard to beat for simplicity and reliability (and power if you want to go that route). Really hard to get a radiator big enough for the diesel, plus an intercooler and A/C compressor under the hood. And the Dodge frame is going to be way wide for that body so it's tough to get the tires under the fenders. I chose to narrow my frame (and steering, and rearend, etc.) but I got the tuck I wanted. Anyway, I'm tagging along for this one. Don't drag it out 4 or 5 years like I have!
