Reply:The 6.5 with the right mods are a pretty decent engine, they are also a lot cheaper to repair. A set of 8 injectors is cheaper than one for the other diesels.Leo

Reply:Originally Posted by HornsGood to hear! I have a long wheel base 3500HD that I swaped a twin turbo P-Pump 24v into. I'm planning on putting a hook lift on it so that I can use the truck for whatever need I may have.
Reply:Got some cad for the bed done today.The frame is going to be 2x2 and 2x4 box tube 1/8th wall, except for the trailer hitch, that will be 3x6" 1/4" wall. The steel for the frame arived this morning, really looking forward to getting to start cutting it out tomorrow.
Reply:Right on ..can't wait to see the progress pics..building a deck myself slowly getting the steel, picked up come 1/4 inch plate today for my work area of the truck.How long are you making yours. I have a dodge dually and cab to center of axle is 56 inches so I was thinking 112 inches to balance the design... but may opt for 120 inches to have more room for gear... keep us posted..LeighLincoln Classic 300DLincoln SA 250Red d arc 300 dieselRanger 305Miller 302 Trailblazer12V Extreme SuitcaseMiller 200 DXVictor O/A torches3 dodge dually cummmins

Reply:here is my progress so far, got the frame tacked together. Decided to omit the frame in the rear and am working on a different design that I think will be better that will incorporate a trailer hitch, and it will allow me to have a bumper of sorts made of 2x4" .250 wall box tube. I will then be able to mount my reciever hitch to that.
Reply:Decided to start a build thread on the truck
Reply:awesome!! Looks good so far..I am using Alibre design myself.. just getting used to the program .. so its slow.. I have a good design for a hitch I will see if I can get it to you..
