MoparMike23 OP enthusiast Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 355 Sparks, Nevada	I've decided to move forward on the Crew Cab and post its progress. The Crew Cab is an 85' and my new donor is a 92'. I'm planning to switch most everything over to update the 85'. The 92' is missing everything from the fan forward so I'll need to pick up a few things to complete it. One question I have is, will I need to change out the one ton springs for the diesel springs or will they hold the weight? Also, is the suspension and brakes the same? I was hoping to salvage the braking system off the 92' and use it on the 85' Ready, set, go...... 6253475-smalldually.jpg (266 downloads) 1969 Superbee 440-6 1977 D-150 Adventurer 2000 Jeep TJ 2018 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker 2019 Ram 2500 CTD

The 85 spindels and rotors should should be the same as what a 92 d350 has... use the wiring from the 92, including the dash harness...also the entire fuel system from the donor truck... use the core support from your donor ramcharger too... the intercooler might be a little tricky to find, as will be a correct fan shroud...look on ebag and the diesel fourms...stuff comes up...any more questions, feel free to call or pm Dinuba, California, Home of the PALOMINO ranch and 440 truck farm, where dodge trucks have a home.

What sold me on it was the fact that it only has 150k on it. What's real nice is the donor is fully loaded so upgrading the 85' will be nice. The only thing I won't be upgrading is ABS (not like they work anyway) due to the rear axle not having provisions for the speed sensor. 1969 Superbee 440-6 1977 D-150 Adventurer 2000 Jeep TJ 2018 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker 2019 Ram 2500 CTD

While you have the engine out most folks who are knowledgeable with these 1st gen engines would tell you to fix the KDP (Killer Dowel Pin) especially now because you have easy access. I would also check out DTR along with a couple other diesel sites, they have forums dedicated to conversions and they contain a lot of info. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for reminding me. I was going to address this in my first post. The spline counts are as follows: 23 Spline Gas small/big block V8s Diesel automatics V10 automatics 29 Spline Diesel manuals V10 manuals I can't remember if the internals are different from gas to diesel, though.

Here's a quick mod list if you bring over teh later parts. -Front springs -complete wiring harness (if a stick you will have to moven the bulk head to the late(92) position on teh fire wall to allow for the clutch master cyl -change to later wiper motor and re-position monting holes -brake booster/master cyl swap -re-drill frame rails to locate later trans cross member swap fuel tank and plumbing Here's what yo u may want to consider just unplug the Anti-loc modual and leave it that way (dont have to swap over the rear controll valve) -Auto Trans is different from Gas to Deisel ( beefier parts on the inside) any q's PM me and I'll answer best I can 6258754-Picture048.jpg (148 downloads) '01 P1500, Blown/Inj BAE,/Veney ,Bruno/CS2,Dana 60 '01 Dodge 3500 S Cummins Auto, Fresh air kit, 4" Exhaust, '05 Dodge Magnum R/T - Too Much to list '60 Willys CJ5 '01 International LPX - Project,DT466, Allison '64 Plymouth Valiant, Inj 528 Hemi, 2spd

MoparMike23 OP enthusiast Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 355 Sparks, Nevada	Thanks Guys for all the info. I've decided to keep it 2wd because I need to get it on the road ASAP. The DMV was saying that the EPA is gonna stop allowing engine swaps soon so I'd better get it certified and smogged before its to late. I think I'd like to keep the 85' front end for now and if it will work, I'll add the intercooler brackets/mounts to my existing core support. I do need help in finding all the pieces from the fan bearing/support thingy, all the way to the intercooler and trans cooler, as the donor stuff is all bent. I will be switching the coil springs and center steering link. The ABS will not be installed to keep it simple. I'm gonna swap the guts from the donor dash but retain the original red cover. I'm hoping to get the 92' stripped and outta here by the weekend. BTW, I posted a wanted add for all the missing pieces I need. Any Help?

MoparMike23 OP enthusiast Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 355 Sparks, Nevada	Finally was able to spend some time on the truck. I pulled the old stuff, including the trans cross member, cleaned up the Cummins, and stuffed it in. I put the Cummins in with the tranny attached. Yeah, I know, One pissed off engine hoist. Because the Cummins is tall, I had to undo the front cab mounts and lift the cab a few inches. Also remember to leave the motor mounts loose on the brackets so you can get them lined up on the frame. This really was very simple. It was like the truck was made for the Diesel. Now I need to finish hooking up everything. BTW- I had posted a Wanted Ad regarding the parts I still need. I had a bunch of reply's from overseas (Italy)and fear they are a scam. Beware, if you post ad's on Moparts, some of the reply's might no be legit.

Sorry I haven't updated this but its hard enough to get the time to just work on it. So, everything has installed with ease. The tranny cross member had to be moved back a few inches. I had to extend everything underneath to compensate for the added length, but thats was a given. The hardest task was the core support. I converted a gas core support because I'm too cheap. I gotta say, overall, the job wasn't complicated, just a lot of labor. Now I'm waiting on the radiator and fan components.

I have other projects that need attention (77' D-150) and the wife really doesn't like the truck. So what do you think its worth. I've been toying with posting it for sale again but there are few comparable trucks for sale. I haven't officially said it's for sale because I don't know if its worth getting rid of yet. I've ordered the radiator and hoses but it still needs a fan assembly and shroud, a/c condenser, and decent tires. It still needs a few things finished. What do you think its worth? This is a link to a couple photos of the truck last week and a bunch from before I began the conversion. I'll have a few more with the CTD installed soon. http://s864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/superbeemike/Pete/?albumview=slideshow Let me know what you think. Is it worth keeping or getting my money out of it? Should I finish it first, or sell it as is?

I am going to convert mine to a manual(hopefully a 6 speed) so it tows better. I would encourage you not to sell it, unless you don't tow very often. I needed a truck to pull my gooseneck with and haul my family. A standard cab won't cut it with a wife and three kids. Michael 93 W250 CTD getrag, Bosch 185 injectors, AFE air filter.

I really only tow something heavy a few times a year (the Super Bee to shows) and thats nothing the D-150 can't handle. My towing worries would disappear if I would man up and drive that car more instead of pulling it everywhere. 1969 Superbee 440-6 1977 D-150 Adventurer 2000 Jeep TJ 2018 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker 2019 Ram 2500 CTD

At one time these trucks(Crew Cab Conversions) were fetching some good coin. Don't know if the market is still there. Good luck

I've not set in a "crew" cab or a mega cab, but I have set in a "quad" cab and was not very happy in the back. I'm 6'1" tall and its mostly leg, so legroom is very important to me.

I've put about a 800 miles on it already. It manages to get 16 pulling my flat bed with a little Mustang on it. I think I'm getting 18 empty. The 4.10 rear doesn't help the mileage. I really love this truck and I'm glad I finished it. I picked up another project with it today. Here's a pic.

I converted it to four wheel drive and a 12v Cummins / 518 overdrive. 3.54 gears and pump tweaked way up. Gets about 15mpg empty. A good working converter or a 5 speed would really help.

On a trip to Southern California and Arizona, Pete logged more than 1500 miles, in 4 days. Recently, I ran to Vegas with him and purchased a 30ft Toy Hauler trailer. I was on the road for 18 hours, there and back. It weighs 7200lbs empty and Pete was not happy about that one. I am trying to plan out some upgrades to the tranny, with a torque converter at the top of the list. I would like to know how much others here tow with there 1st Gen trucks. This trailer has a GVWR of 14,000 and I was interested to know if Pete could handle that much (I might be able to squeeze the Ramcharger in the trailer). I'm confident the chassis will do it but I'm not sure about the motor/tranny. Anyway, here's Pete this last weekend taking the kids out for our first camping trip in the ToyHauler.

I would also get it built/modified by Georend Bros for towing. The lockup convertor will be much better for towing heavy. I tow my 7000# flatbed gooseneck with my 93, and have many times put to 6500# trucks on it, and it hauls it just fine. A few pump tweaks, maybe a little larger injectors, and a good trans and you will be in good shape. 1stgen.org is a good place to get recommendations for your diesel upgrades.
