My K30 C&C Cummins swap and build
« on: February 21, 2014, 11:39:40 AM »
Figured I'd start a thread on my K30 build,  who doesn't like a build thread  lol

First,  this is how I got the truck,  frame and axles blasted and painted and all rust on cab was fixed (main reason I brought it)
Came with a 6.2 TH400 and np205, also picked up a Banks turbo kit for the 6.2 (sold the Banks setup to but Cummins parts)
I figured since I was going all out and had sunk a lot of money into the K30, might as well go all the way and swap in a 6bt.







More to come....

     You will like the 6BT a whole lot better.

Thanks for the replies, actually it's almost done, hopefully I will get it registered next weekend.
Some more pics, painted the firewall, inside and bottom of the cab.

     Wow, either you missed a whole lot of pics or you are going to be one busy bee if it is going to be done soon and registered next week.
