Ive Got a 91 D350 Cummins going in to Mean Green.

FYI- Mean Green hasn't run in 11 years and the owner couldn't figure out why.

Noah Got it running in 1 hour 

Run's like a champ!!

Don't tell me, ecu and a ballast resistor.  You DA man Noah.

There's a guy in New Braunfels from RCC that might be interested in it if you are selling it.

pretty close...coil wire, distributor rotor and an ecu (just because it was shiny and came with the truck)....dont forget the little 5 gallon marine gas tank in the bed......this sucker has soome nasty stuff in the gas tank lol.....we do not understand this word "sell" ....must save all Dodges and associated parts.... there will be no sale

Back before most of you were born, I had a 72 D-100 club cab with a 360 2bbl.  It was a trailer pulling machine.  It was kinda like parking a school bus but who cared.

As long as its not the short bus.

You must be at LEAST this inept, to ride the short bus...

This project may kick off in a few months. It all depends on how well I collect parts. Should be fun. We are shooting for a Cummins Tow Rig with this machine 

As of right now it runs but it doesn't. There are some wiring gremlins that we aren't really messing with because we know it will get re wired when we do the Cummins Conversion.

But when it does run, It runs well. Defiantly has a very fresh 318 in it.

Well Noah and I pulled the motor and Sold it to a guy that's put it into a 1972 Plymouth Duster 4spd. So its going to a good home.

Now its time to collect parts!

[ProjectM880]

Noah and I are looking to start this project in the next month or two. Once he finishes up his cummins and a few other customers vehicles we will start the tear down 

[ProjectPW]

I would not count on the cummins being ready anytime soon.... It is now in primer, but it may be a while before paint happens due to the weather(and then there is reassembly ). I am going to get the green machine moved under cover pretty soon though and getthe bed and front clip off....followed by the cab for frame prep/ rust repair

Sounds good to me, When I get back I will get over there so we can come up with a game plan.

We need to make a order list So I can start ordering a bunch of parts.

Need to build up that drivetrain and Chassis right!

The thought of making it a dually with a flat bed has cross my mind........... Thoughts?

How simple of a flat bed are you looking for.

I actually have a flatbed I can use. it needs some work but it will do the job if I decide to go that route

[ProjectM880]

Seems the more Noah and I talk about this project the more and more in depth it gets.

Did I mention this will be a frame off restoration that will include complete media blasting.
