1989 V3500/ W350
« on: August 31, 2015, 08:37:12 AM »
Seeing the light at the end, so I thought I would post a pic and info on my latest project.  Truck started as DRW with 454.  I bought the truck as a cab and chassis with no running gear.  Then I found a 1989 W350 with 89,000 miles on it.  Blended the two and got a great daily driver.
Here's what's in it:
5.9 cummins, HX35 turbo, 370 Marine injectors, BD fuel pin, 3200GS, 4" exhaust from down pipe back, 94 5.9 intercooler and radiator, 1995 47RH transmission, 205 transfer case, Dana 60 front, corp14 rear with 4.10's, frame shortened 14" for the 6' bed, pillar pod with usual gauges.

Nice! There are a few others here with Cummins in these trucks. Irish_Alley has one he swapped from another square body and another member has 1 that he did a full truck build on that has been featured in a few magazines. Just the 2 I can think of off hand.

Thanks all.  I tried to figure out how to post more pictures but most exceed the 256mb limit.  If someone can clue me in on the easiest way to post them, keeping in mind computers hate me.  Irish I have been watching your build, how much boost do you build?
