[lobie]

kept the cab and frame. the rest went to the scrap yard including the rear axle..... go ahead and give me crap for scraping it... most of it was rusted out

 

[lobie]

picked up a 12 bolt.

 

[lobie]

set the engine in it last wknd and started fabing the motor mounts. no pics of the mounts yet. this wknd hope to get the mounts for the engine and tranny done. also put a cross member under the engine between the mounts.

Diesel shop put 20 lb injectors in it. Also put a pin in the injection pump when they rebuilt it. They said 250 hp. Will never know for sure.

 

[Tim...Ok]

sweet project..those motors are a serious chunk of iron aren't they? I put a `91 12 valve and 5 speed and 3.54 rear in a 56 GMC 1-ton years ago, then sold it..shoulda kept it

Can't beat the old 12v. Heavy....just have to beef it up a little more.

Go easy on that 12 bolt, most Cummins equiped trucks come with Dana 60s or larger, I believe.

Looking forward to more, I love me some oil burners!

I realize it is smaller but I think it will be fine. Got to remember that the original application was for pull +20k loads. Don't think it will ever seen more than the weight of the vehicle (2000-2500 lbs)

Love the R series. Most beautiful truck ever desighnrd by Ted Ornas. (started design work for IHC on the R series and worked till they closed in 80, so yes he did the scouts)

 

[lobie]

got a little done this wknd. motor mounts are done for now. will have to weld up the inside of the frame and put a cross member in once i pull the engine back out.

 

[lobie]

also got some of the back frame redone. would have got more done but the heat went out in the house and the ac man made me touch my toes.. no new parts for awhile

Once you get into smoke shows, and beating on it day are numbered
keep your eyes open for a 14 bolt no worries good luck on build more pics
