Re: 87 Chevy Crew Cab 4x4 Converion/Cummins swap

So back to the amish shop, I have been trying to find someone with a first gen downpipe just for initial startup and to see how much room I had. No luck anywhere and I didn't really wanna buy one online and have to wait etc etc only to find out I would have to hack it up anyways, so this shop ended up having the weldable flange for the VBAND connection, so that and a couple of 3" 90's and I made my own downpipe. Also after it started I realized my lift pump was leaking a little, they had that and the gasket in stock as well, genuine cummins parts none the less!


So for now I am down to, clutch hydraulics, front brakes, driveshaft.

Then of course all the smalls like working gauges, vacuum lines, rear ebrake cables, shocks, sound deadener, and eventually, seats, carpet, dash pad...guess I'm not that close yet HA!
