Just need to slide it into place. All the mounts are lining up real good. Mounting it seems to be the easy part. The joy of wiring in all the luxurys of the cab will be fun. I really wish I had 3 more feetof head space in the new shop so I would have been able to use the truck crane, buts...

I'm thinking about trying this. More or less a regulator and guage to start.

I'll do my best, but I lost both pinkies in a work related accident.

yes, down the road. i want to get it rolling as soon as possible, then ill tackle the suspension. i might take out a couple leafs first until i get to that point. even toying with the idea of an air ride cab.

Just a quick look at what i started with and the need for a hauler. Loaded down the trailer is around 20klbs. the dodge did the job with plenty of power, but the braking was another story. the 5ton doesnt even feel it. now i just want some comfort in the cab and room for passengers. most of...

so far things are fitting very well. i swapped the cooler assembly from the donor truck as well, and you would think the same guy designed both trucks. hopefully the superduty crewcab will be mocked up this weekend so i can start lining up/fabbing cab mounts. the plan is to get acan and...

After cruising around town in the stock 5ton for a couple months, i finally started the teardown for my hauler project.

this is exactly what i am doing right now. i picked up a 931a2 last year and just stared my conversion project. the cab is going out the window to add some comfort, and then i will tackle the suspension.

in Ca. all trucks are registered commercially, even personal pickups. i signed a statement of fact that i wont use it commercially so as long as its older than '98 i dont have to smog it, just like any other personal diesel truck.

btw, if you go over 50k, you have to turn in IRS paperwork as well. thats why i went with that.

i opted for the heavier weight tag, but i had the option of registering it at any weight. for a CGVW of 50k it was $1100. i could have done it for as low as $565 for 26k, but that would only give me 6k of cargo and trailer weight.
