Got it in and test fitted. It looks damn good!
I am starting to get excited.
I loaded the Dana 60 up on my wrecker, and I am going to take it over to a shop here in town that makes U bolts and get a new set made.
When I get back from doing that and getting a little lunch I am going to finish welding the front cross member, and I am going to cut out the old front cross member so as that I dont have to clearence it for the cummins, and I am going to remove the 2wd front cross member and all the stuff that goes with it.
Then I will bolt the 4wd steering box on the frame, install the leafs and the Dana 60 and see how it all looks.
Tomorrow myself and a friend of mine are going out to get the cab and front clip, then we will be bringing them back here.
I ordered a new set of body mount bushings and bolts from ORD they will be here next week, Once I have those in hand I will be able to set the cab on the frame and get busy with getting the cross member to mount the Cummins built.
The goal is by the end of next week to have the engine set in the frame, and to be able to start making a list of what will be needed to get my NV4500 in there, as well as finish off the transmission to transfer case adapter I am working on.
I definately have plenty to do, but it is taking shape really fast.
Also tonight I need to make a rig for lifting my truck cab with the engine hoist so as that I do not damage it while moving it.
