This thread was from a couple weeks ago....

Just buy a 2nd gen gasser with a nice body and put your cummins in it.

 

ya thats what i was thinkin of doin just wonderin of difficulty's ill read the thread thanks

 

Why not just buy a second gen? The only reason I have a 1st gen is because I like the styling a whole bunch more than the 2nd gens. Why would you go through the trouble of putting a newer body on an older truck? Plus with the second gens you get a better motor and transmission.

 

they're expensive

 

And buying two trucks, and not to mention parts and all your time and labor is not?

 

If you're going to have to put up with the lousy engine access and the beer can bodywork, you ought to at least get a P-pumped 12 valve in the bargain.

 

Beer can bodywork?! Why didn't anyone ever tell me? I've got enough emptys to build a new truck
