Picked up my next project!!! Mint condition inside and out 1999 Ram 1500 single cab shortbed with a v6.

Going to be putting a 24v Cummins in it.

I think Ill be going with an auto for this one, I have tons of NV5600 and NV4500 available around me but for ease of drivability and fun, me thinks auto...

I should be getting my donor truck this coming weekend. 2001 Cummins 2500 single cab 4x4, Ill have the disc brake axles for sale soon if anyone is interested in the area?

I dont know if ill keep all the questions in this section, I might post in the 24v section for some questions if/ when I need too.

Going to be doing lots to this little guy!

Here is a link to what my inspiration is coming from and pretty much what its gonna be/ look like. Minus the color, going metallic white with some bronze wheels most likely.

Looking for sponsors....... 😉Fass Fuel, Quadzillla, DAP injectors and turbo(s), loads of LMC and more! 😉

More to come!!!

That will be quite the project. Just curious, what are you going to do with the front suspension for the additional engine weight?

Ill just have those "2500" lowering springs up front.

I guess I forgot to put the link in for the build Im following. Check it out, pretty sweet rig!

Something to double check that rubber mat flooring is typical for rotting out the floors. You might lift the rubber and double-check the interior metal for any rust. One of the common conversions I have to do was pulling up all the rubber mat flooring and fix all the rusted floor metal and then convert to carpet. I've done this in a few rigs that people had rubber floors. Typically the drivers floor pan is rotting.

Yes indeed, carpet is on the "to get list"

The list of stuff to do and get is quite long but the plan is coming together nicely!
