, I thought I would share some pics. there not in very good order I havent figured out how to organize yet. I still have to weld passenger shock mount and cut drive-shaft about an inch, also reroute ram hoses. Enjoy the other pics at my shop, or shows also if you like.
Indeed.
how does it do on trails?

It does great on the trails, hopefully even better with the new brakes.
I put an add on craigslist since I was having no luck either, you might have seen it. A guy in Nipomo ten minutes from me called and said he stashed one way back for a mudbogger project and never got around to using it. You never know.PowerMan wrote:Nice work! I'm jealous. I've been looking for a kingpin passenger drop 60 for the W200 Cummins conversion I am doing and haven't been able find one that is anywhere near being reasonably priced in the area. I need one so I can set up the power steering.
I am waiting for the rest of my new tires to come in to do a test drive I odered one first just to make sure everything fit right, my old ones wont fit since they were 15s. I will let you know how it feels.jwing68 wrote:Nice upgrade to the tank, did the additional unsprung weight of the dana 60 make the ride any rougher/choppy in your opinion?

315/75x16 on 16x8 alloy wheel(there is one pic on there of it) I purchased one and it fits real nice even better than I thought, and should absorb quite a bit of the rough ride. The 44 axle I had with my home brew disc brake made the front wheels stick out more than I like but you could hardly notice. Now wheel is in the fender well all the way. I do wheel it allot, so the overkill 60 is the way to go. My wife says my middle name should be overkill Andy Overkill Brown so I have to keep up my reputationDavidWymore wrote:jwing68 wrote:Nice upgrade to the tank, did the additional unsprung weight of the dana 60 make the ride any rougher/choppy in your opinion?
I can answer that....yes. But it's really not a big deal, worth it IMO if you actually wheel it and run big tires.
What tire size are you planning on, pismo?
i wish i had trails in my area to go wheeling, of course i wonder how my 89 cummins would do wheeling?pismopowerwagon wrote:315/75x16 on 16x8 alloy wheel(there is one pic on there of it) I purchased one and it fits real nice even better than I thought, and should absorb quite a bit of the rough ride.

Seff, you would be suprised with the cummins wheeling rigs. One of my wheelin buddies bought a '90 w250 and put 40" tires on and has a great time with the truck. Everything besides the tires are stock except that it is missing the front fenders and bed for clearance reasons.
Yeah...5.13s and 39" tires....surfnuke9 wrote:Very nice....I have loved the 93 D60 front anf D70 rear I put in my 71 W200....3.54 gears and discs.... does it get any better?
Those new 
Re: Tanks axle swap pics Thanks Jimmy, I am really looking forward to the new brakes. What tires did you go with? I will pull my R/T on occasion to the strip and wonder if the LT315/75x16 load D will do, I never had a problem before even with the 35/12.5x15s but I didnt tow very far distance just around here town to town.jimmy wrote:Very nice, You'll love the big brakes. I know I do.
Mine is just a pavement pounder but the big brakes sure are nice on the street and pulling trailers.
