Took me ten years to build this thing

what did you use for rear suspension?
Walking beam? Springer?

Just some food for thought, heres an idea for your next truck project.

Last year, a couple buddies and I built a 1998 Dodge Ram 3500. It has a Detroit Diesel 6V71TA engine, Eaton RoadRanger 13 speed, Spicer two speed rear axle, two-ton suspension all the way around, air brakes and air horn. Its a nice truck, but a toy more than anything. Sees use hauling cattle and tractors most of the time.
I now work for an outfit that specializes in diesel repowers in pretty much any vehicle that is brought to us, and also a lot of diesel repairs.

Maybe ya oughta build another tandem axle truck and start ya a fleet of "little big trucks"! Have fun and Keep On Truckin"!

Wow!
Great trucks the detriot diesel setup is way over the top.
I have been planning a Cummins 12v repower on a 50 era Ford.Chevy. IH truck preferable Ford as that is what I learned to drive 30+ years ago.
Missed a running Dodge 12v with Dana 60 front and rear ends for $2500 a few weeks ago, day late/dollar short as usual.The price of diesel has brought down diesel donor truck prices quite a bit lately.

Yeha, I gotta admit the Dodge/Detroit is a little overkill, but it was good fun building it and solving the problems we had and now its good fun driving it. It was a good learning experience.

we want to see pics of the inside the cab of that dodge as well as a under hood shot and a shot under the truck so we can see how you set all that up how did you get a 2 ton 2 speed rear end to mount 16 inch 8 hole dodge wheels?
