Now I can really get down to getting the rig the way I want it and not have to worry about it being ready for the work week.

The only thing that'd make it better would be a Cummins swap. Kinda like this.

Yeah 454, sweet, but they suck gas. Cool to have a tow rig though:thumb:

No big plans of yet, but at least when I get ready to start adding things I'll have a back up. I do want to start adding a cage, locker, re-do the interior. Basically start making it more of a trail rig but still street legal. I just had to do my E-test this month and it took 6 times before we finally got it. These older rig are getting harder to pass ever year. Almost gave up and made it into a trail only rig, but I like to play with it in the snow around town so I kept trying.

Very nice! You can buy a lot of gas for the cost of a $15,000 Cummins swap.

I love my big block tow rig!

This is true. And if you find the engine and do all the fab work yourself you're still looking at around $2,500 to $5,000.

Nice rig, I bet the only issue is that it most likely gets like 10mph at best..

It's not to bad in gas around town, I think I'm close to 12 maybe 13. On the highway it seems to get close to 17. Just before I got I was able to use it to go to Canyon City to pick up a 79 1 ton dually for Transplant. We towed going down and back and only used about 3/4 tank.
