Anyone know the 4bt crew cab utiline in Austin, TX
A body shop around the corner from our yard has a 4x4 Utiline crew cab, earlier in the year I spied a 4 cylinder cummins ISB diesel motor in it. Looks like it just came out of paint a few days ago, it's now tan. Sorry no pics, as it has always been behind some cars or semi covered up, but I just wanted to see if the owner was on this board anywhere, looks like a killer truck and it would be cool to check it out.

The ISB and 4BT engines are VERY different Cummins engines, gotta be one or the other.

I used the mixing of terms to cover people who might know one but not the other as they are actually very similar engines, essentially the evolution of the 4bt is the isb. This motor has the one piece valve cover (saw it peaking through a drop cloth), I did not get a close enough look to identify which injection pump it had, what gear train it had, etc. I highly doubt there are any other 4 cylinder cummins diesel powered sweptline era trucks in this town, let alone a 4x4 crew cab with fresh paint.

Neither of those two. Although, i never saw original color, it was half taken apart whne I first spotted it. I'm back at the office today, I will try to stalk it for some pics this week.

Re: Anyone know the 6bt crew cab utiline in Austin, TX
Got some quick pictures yesterday. Asked around, but no one knew whose it was. Lots of little shops share the same lot. Looks like a decent paint job and a nice looking truck. Still want to see under the hood.
It's sitting on a newer frame, so I'm guessing its a 6 cylinder cummins, not a 4. I just caught a glimpse of it before, still not sure, but assuming since they used the entire truck frame.

It appears to be the same truck as the 2nd picture posted by skyrodder666. It has been modified quite a bit since that picture though.lunacy wrote:Neither of those two.
