72 Chevy K/30 Cummins Dually

WoW, Going to be very Cool !!!

Got the front clip on!



Here is the video:

This is how the motor mounts were built:

After a ton of measurements/lots of thought I came up with a 3D CAD file.



Then went to school and cut them out

Video:


And welded em out.



I am still going to be adding a cross member that bolts in that will go under the engine. It will be removable so as that I can drop the oil pan with ease if I ever need to change the oil pump or something like that.

Needs Frito 19.5's.

You know you wanna.

lol, Looking good man !!!

Actually going with the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain KM2's in a 255/85r16



they are 33" tall, will be 10" wide. I will have to run a 2" spacer in the rear, but I think it will work out well. With this combination it will pull 1963 RPM @65 mph. 2114 @ 70mph.

I am also going to run the centramatics with them to keep everything balanced.

I have seriously thought about running the 19.5's if I did though id swap out to the Dana 80, build 10 lug hubs for the front, and get an Atlas T case because they have provisions for the driveshaft mounted parking brake.

Mini update, I just stayed up all night doing cad designing a new bed, decided not to build the welder trailer, I am going to wind up buying a new machine, a Lincoln Vantage 300 with the Kubota Diesel. This bed is designed around it.





more to come soon...

badass

Damn Nick, you're everywhere!
