Yes but that would only be true if you can find an 88-93 Dodge 4x4 truck with the Cummins motor. The newer ones 94 and newer had transfer cases with drivers side drop.

That's about the average most people spend for parts for this conversion. Of course you can spend a lot more than that or possibly about half of that if you plan carefully.
