Awesome! By far my all time favorite body style of any pickup... Come to think of it I could say the same for the motor. Nothing beats a VE pump 5.9!
I guess you own my dream truck can't wait to see more

Looks like a nice clean install! Is the rear axle shot a disc conversion? Nice motor mounts too!

But, you don't have the disease.
You have the diesel-ease.

Jealous is a good word. Maybe envious.
What a great, and UNIQUE vehicle. You won't see another one of those very often.
Question (a little off topic): What size tires and wheels are you running? Are those 315/75/16's or 35x12.50x17's? Something else?
Suspension? 4 inches perhaps? 6?
Looks great.
Oh, by the way, I think it was "Trucks" - that show on Spike TV, they put a 79 Ford crew cab dually on a 'late' model 5.9L Cummins / Ram chassis. Pretty neat.

Very cool rig.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
35's with 2" suspension (I think) and a 3" body lift.
Here's a link to a build thread on another forum. Hope it's ok to link it. http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/10...mins-swap.html

Links are fine here. We are a sharing type of crowd...

Think'n with me dipstick!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention after looking at your pictures to warn you about those c-clamps holding the topper down. I had a slightly smaller version in all 4 corners on mine. Forgot to check the tightness on them for about a month and JUST about lost the topper on the highway. Not sure why they started to come loose or if it was just the fiberglass on mine flexing. Ended up getting some bolt tightened clamps and haven't had an issue yet.
What are you running as far as exhaust goes? Just curious how you routed it really. Didn't see it in my extreme skimming of your build thread over on FTE.
