Thanks for all the info, guys. I suppose I ought to use the Cummins. I just have to figure out how to squeeze it in there. Rhino, everything I'v e read says you can't fitthe intercooler if you don't dog house the firewall. I would be interested in any pics or links that show a better way.

Thanks but that cooling system in the bed would not work for what I am doing. I'll have a big camper in the bed. Their radiators look pretty small. I don't think they would be adequate for the heavy load I'm hauling and pulling. That's probably good enough to get them in and out of the shows.

How is the 98 chassis? I'd be looking into putting the Sweptline cab etc on the later chassis. Power steering and disc brakes already installed.
Kevin That's something to look into. I'm not sure how it would fit.

on my truck i ditched the fan clutch for an after market fan and didnt have room for an intercooler-----but i dont do much towing with my truck---the 89 to mid 91 trucks werent intercooled either Nice to see your swepty/Cummins! It will need an intercooler, going up mountains at 20,000+ pounds.

If I use the 68 frame, it would be seriously beefed up.

The 98 3500 is already trashed. The bed is missing, the cab is rusty, the tires are bald, the brakes are shot, the front axle doesn't engage, and the front end is worn out. Too much $ to fix it compared to the value of the cummins, the trans and the dana 80. The powerstroke van is actually in very good shape for it's age, but no one wants to pay much for a 22 year old cube van.
So the 97 powerstroke isn't much of a motor you think? Or is it brand loyalty that's the issue? THe cummins has very little electronics, so that's a plus. I like stuff I can fix and maintain my self, and i'm no computer/electronics wizzard. Can you plop the old Dodge body on the 98 Dodge frame ?? I see twostick beat me to that question.

Well, I sold the Powerstroke van yesterday, a guy made me a pretty nice offer. So the old Dodge crew cab is safe for now.

I have a friend who started his Dodge truck ownership with a 1995 3500 two wheel drive dully five speed 12 valve Cummins, he was a over the road big rig truck driver before getting hurt in a on the road truck accident and had owned a bunch of Chevy trucks He ended up hopping that truck up so he could haul a 48 Ft goose neck race trailer, he change the pump, injectors, torbo and finally put in a U.S. Gear two speed auxiliary tranny so he could back the rig up in a lower gear than the five speed had in reverse He had used a 12.5 ft. cab over camper with a 24 Ft. enclosed race trailer to go racing but his wife told him if he had a better rig she would go to the long races more with him so he stepped way up to the new custom built big 48 Ft. trailer with the living quarters. He picked it up in Denver, CO and told me when he got home to SO CA that he hadn't towed it over five miles before he hated that trailer He raced with it a little over a year before giving it away for take over payments His wife went to the races with him twice in that year, he raced a lot back then. They are divorced now . I use to see a lot of talk on the CTD web site about the 12 valves making more power than the EFI motors did
