    At first I saw the part of the title in the notification and was really excited for a Cummins swap update, then I saw that it is basically a recap of the whole project and I was admittedly a little disappointed because I was hoping for something new but then I realized this video is perfect to help me with something of a reality check... I'm planning out a project to take a used not running/barely running van, extend the frame, swap a medium to heavy duty pickup truck engine and transmission into it, redo the interior and possibly add a homemade bucket lift to it. Now on paper that sounds (at least to me) like a not easy but also not horribly complicated process but seeing this has given me some insights into what kind of work I would actually be getting myself into, in a small easy to digest video. Thanks for all the hard work and showing people that massive automotive projects are doable with enough time, and patience.

I can find the great deals.. But lack the resources to push them through.. sofar on my back logs I have a 1977 IH Loadstar 1800 with an SV-304, sitting next to it is a 2004 International 6.0 diesel engine / cab (wire harness was butchered by buyer who wanted the chassis), a 2000 dodge ram 3500 diesel with bad rear axle spindle and a 1994 Ditch Witch 5110D with bad injector pump (still sitting at seller's summer vacation home for almost 5 years now).. But I gotta saw this one turned into an awesome build 🙂

I raised it up and rolled the chassis from a 1988 Nissan Pathfinder 2 door. V6 power 5 speed manual, warn locking hubs, 33" tires. At 7 feet tall, the hood was about the height of the roof of a stock Patriot. Lots of fun with the wiring. It stole the show at a jeep show and it was just parked in the parking lot.
