Figured i would post some pics of the my truck i've building. Started out as a 1989 c30 crewcab 4x4 454 4spd cab and chassis truck with a service bed.Was a perfect body truck no rust anywhere. Truck is a manual no electronics which i like. Started out by putting a single wheel bed on it h1's and 37's. Then pulled the drivetrain out and replaced it with a 12 valve Cummins and eaton fuller 5 spd. I had to redo the tranny tunnel to clear the tranny. No transfer case yet. also installed jake brake to help slow it down when towing.

Build is going to be slow due to working on everybody stuff other than my own.

I like the blue the cab is. Or red and white or black and red. What's your rpms at 65mph? And what's your mpg?

Not sure. I haven't got to drive it much at all. And it only takes me 5 min to get to work. Getting ready to pull the ve pump motor out and install a p pump motor.
