Title: My K30 C&C Cummins swap and build
Post by: legendman 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.
