My 81 crew cab build

[Chuck]

hello

i just installed the 10 lifted 52s up front and am doing the cross over and welding the front well i am at it. can any one point me in the right direction for a front drive shaft. i have a wrecked 96 2500 looks like that drive shaft will work.

Damn hell of a job there.

 

[Chuck]

thank you. i have been driving around the 6.2 and i love it. its got more power then my 350 or 283 had and it is cheap to drive. the 350 was worn out and the 283 was cammed and had the torquer intake but i seized the bottom end. i won't be passing anyone on the highway . i was out climbing last night in the hills and 2nd gear 2 hi i had lots of climbing power and momentum. 4.56s and 4 speed are perfect with 39s and the 6.2 now my truck doesn't feel sluggish. with the small blocks i was always in 4lo of road. think i am gonna wire in the glow plugs today. everyone online uses a ford starter solenoid. is there any reason y i can't use a regular solenoid?????

 

[Chuck]

today i did the glow plugs with normal solenoid and it works good. also did some brake lines and set up the clutch a little better. off for another drive

looking good man, i like it alot wish i could find me a 4WD square. most people around here that have them wont get rid of them. and the ones that people are trying sale are way over priced

Farmers feilds and wrecking yards are always cheap. 500 bucks. 90s sas project is prolly a better platform. I got a 86 1500 and 93 1500 next projects both gonna do 6.2 swaps
