95% of the truck components are going to need 12volts, I have a 12v to 24v converter that is good for 40 continuous amps. That will take care of essential 24 volt systems that cant be converted. This isn't a discussion on 12 vs. 24 volts.

931A2.......I was going to make an F-950 emblem, but I like F-939 better.

I have two long beds I am going to splice to gether to go a little longer and wider than stock to fit over the wheels.

I understand how the system works. I know that it is based on pulses. I know that once the desired tire pressure is reached, it is held outside the wheel valve and the system is bled down to 20psi to maintain it. Like I stated earlier, I am looking for a way to mimic the CTIS ECM in a way that...

They are 12volt

What do I need 24 volts for. All I need to do is mimic what the ctis does. Are the wheel valves electric?

Those are some good ideas, but I think my buddy and I came up with something over a few beers while sitting in the shop and staring at the truck(where my best work is done). Im looking into an airirde controler that has a digital reaadout and allows you to set the airpressure to whatever you...

You're missing the point. For my project I need to eliminate as many 24volt systems as I can. I am looking for someone who has converted their CTIS system from an automatic to manual system.

none, it works fine.

Got the new cab located into place. Started mocking up the body mounts.

I did have to trim the fire wall just a hair, but no more than a normal F650. The doner parts truck has a small cut out to fit the Cat motor. I made the same mod to accomodate since this cab had a v8. I will trim the small fender a bit to clear the back of the tire to give it a little more room.

Has anyone removed the CTIS controler and made their own system? I did a search and could not find anything that sounded like what I am thinking of. I would think with a few valves, gauges and regulators you could get rid of the CTIS ECM. Any thoughts?

Well, who hasnt had a brain fart during a project? I finally have the cab sitting where I want it with the hood and fenders lining up real nice. I wrestled with the fitting of the hodd for 2 days cussing and swearing before I noticed I had the front center rad mount in the worong place. I could...

My first priority is to get the cab on and get it running again. After the cab is done Im planning on doing a full air ride suspension. The girlfriend cant handle the dodge right now do to the rough ride so I have to do everything I can to soften it up. I have never seen a 5th wheel hitch...

As far as I know its a real pic. I pulled it off the internet, so who knows. I do like it. I wanted a larger truck front end like the F650s and topkicks. I wanted that slopped hood for visibility. Like I said, having a complete donor truck for all the hardware and misc is making it real easy. I...

Personally Ive never like the international cabs. I went with the fords because of the availability of them. They have been making the superduty cabs for long over a decade now and they are easy to find accessories for. If it was a perfect world, I would have used a Dodge Megacab, but there isnt...

I'm open to take a look at both options for the wheel well. That pic was easier to just stretch real quick. Ive got the sheetmetal to do that. Im pretty sure Im going to have to pull it down too. The bed sits pretty high on the frame. Im going to find some sheetmetal quick fasteners of somekind...

something like this but a little cleaner

I was going to drop one, but I decided I like going far off the highway so Im keeping it. I am going to widen the bed and tailgate, and taper it in at the cab instead of using a dually fender flare. Ill notch it and put a seam in so I can pull off a section to clear the trailer, and pin it on...

I started off with the idea of finding the right truck to do a 4x4 conversion on. I wanted the 8.3 cummins and an allison. When I priced out the cost of the truck and the cost of a conversion it was just to much. So far, the 5ton, the 4 door cab from a F250, a complete F650 with 24'box to...
