My bro and I found enough 70s 4door cabs to do some cummins conversions. Have some good extended cab diesel trucks for good body candidates. Should be a fun summer!

'93 cummins extended cab, W250 5speed 4x4, 3.55gear
'92 cummins extended cab, D250 5speed 2wd, 3.07gear
'92 cummins extended cab, D250 auto, 2wd,3.55 gear

2wd trucks will be nice for cross country towing trips, and hauling the fam. And ride better..

Sam, do you know if you have to do a small body lift on the 2wd models also to clear the fuel tank clearance issue? Brainstorming.. Thanks for any help!

One of the 4doors was kinda of an oddball.
'72 or '74 4door, Adventurer trim, 400 auto, AC, 2wd, dually, factory red with a white top. was probably a neat truck in the day.

if it was a dually with a bed, then it had to be a 74.....
if your going to use the club cab frame, then you need a short bed fuel tank....and floor mods....otherwise u could probably get away with a 2 inch body lift on a 2wd and be fine...
