hi from cold country canada
« on: March 14, 2011, 05:42:08 pm »
just wanted to say hi to everyone here , im chris living in cambridge ont canada , i currently own a 1985 blue and silver silverado with blue interior it no longer houses a small block chevy i dumped a 12 valve mechanical cummins into it last year , the cummins is somewhat modded out but leaving it reasonable on fuel . it does sit in a stock 1/2 ton suspension with only the front springs changed to the heavier ones. it does have the pee wee 1/2 ton rear end but it has held up so far with over 40,000 kms on it since the build
1985 c10 silverado powered up by cummins 12 valve pump tweaked hx35 turbo 518 automatic making some nice power and getting 28mpg all day long

Welcome from Arizona. You can't just tease with a Cummins swap and not toss some pics up!
