    Here are some pics of the progress from the last post. The weather has not been cooperating but I have got the innercooler and radiator hosed in and connected, fenders are on and ran the power and grounds for the battery. Also got the exhaust in, I was surprised how well the 89-93 Dodge D250...

    So Wednesday consisted of test fitting the engine about 15 times and persuading the firewall with a hammer. Thursday was mostly running around getting parts ect. Friday I painted the firewall and welded on the steering box brace, and swapped the Dodge NV4500 input into my Chevy NV4500. Today I...

    Not a ton of progress from this weekend but I was battling the flu. I was able to get the front end off, the big block pulled and sold, removed the factory engine crossmember and modified my core support to hold the innercooler and radiator.

    1991 Chevy R/V3500 Crew Cab Build

    Thanks guy, I am really liking it. I am going to clear the old shelves out of the side boxes and fill some hole then hopefully put a coat of paint on it to make everything match. Thanks, I really like the tire size to lift height on this thing, so many people put lifts on and the tires don't...

    The CUCV Build-1986 M1031 Mobile Field Maintenance Assault Vehicle

    Nice build, i'm about to start a similar build with a crew cab. Your thread has given me tons of ideas, good work! One question, when you replaced the mounts under the contact maintenance bed, what did you use/where did you get them? I'm going to have to find some for when I swap my bed on.
