Yeah John is right, mine is a D200. Although I'm thinking about using 300 fenders, just not sure if I'm good enough to modify the bed wheel wells to match. I'm the 4th forum member to own this crew. I brought it home from Cowboy's house in Feb 07. Although I haven't done squat with it yet, I feel much better about it considering I just bought an 01 Cummins! :dance Although I plan to drive the 01 for a couple of years until my 65 is done and out of the garage, then I'll start on the crew.

Is that what you plan to do your swap with? That was my original plan with my swepty crewcab, but got squashed when I started looking at all of the electronics for the 24 valve. Great motors, but I like the simplicity of the old 12 valve. There might be better info now adays for a swap, but a few years back when I was looking into it just seemed like more trouble than it was worth...

Yeah, I remember when you had that 99 for sale. I've always thought I was set on a 12v also, but I couldn't pass up the deal on this High Output 24v 6 speed. I needed a good vehicle to drive right now, and thought it might as well be a cummins that I can later use for my swap. I really love this truck! But even more so, I'm excited about hacking it up in a few years to make it a swepty! :lol:
