Cummins Powered Ram50

[Bodacious]

Hello All. I recently purchased a 1988 Ram 50 from ManorChurch and have begun the work to transform this little beauty into a monster of sorts. I really hated to start hacking on the little fella because this truck was in great shape. As the dissection continues, I am continually impressed with just how well built these trucks are. I am running the build thread over on the Competition Diesel web forum. Let me know if you need any parts, I may be able to help. I mostly will just have the interior parts, the rear end (3.90 I think) and some 2wd front end parts. Please come over and check it out.

Nice job so far. I checked out the instagram thingy. Are ya gonna have any trouble with the down pipe? We swapped a 4bt into a '92 1/2 ton dodge and backed it up with an NV4500. I loved everything about it except for the rattling.

I like the 47RH too. Are ya gonna use the transfer case from the dodge as well?

We had to beat the firewall a little, and it makes a pretty drastic slope, but compared to everything else not really a problem haha. We did use the transfer case from a half ton dodge... A 231 I believe. It's a little smaller should hold up just fine.
