I owned a 92 Dodge / Cummins in the mid 90’s...I remember showing up to work with it and when an old timer mechanic looked under the hood he said “the body will rot away long before that motor wears out”...happened just like he said!

Vintage Air has a much smaller evaporator/heater - it moves all the parts on the inside of the cab, and uses a plate to cover up the hole left by the stuff in the engine bay. If the guy doesn't care about A/C, you can use the parts from a heat-only truck which has a considerably smaller footprint in the engine bay and weld up the extra holes.

He is 21 yrs old and calls it the old square body . To me it is almost new, to him this is a really an old truck. Keep young kids interested in this old hobby.

You can flip the exhaust manifold upside down and then mount the turbo higher on the engine, if you have the underhood space for it - it should move the turbo away from the evaporator case and may make the exhaust routing a little easier. He also needs to replace the governor springs on the P-pump with 4K springs if he is going to play with the fuel plate.

Mike Finnegan of Roadkill did a similar Cummins in a Squarebody swap. If I remember correctly, he had to replace the inset on his firewall to accommodate the Cummins, and I think he was able to use a vendor-produced panel instead of fabbing his own. Check his build, might save you some time and headaches!
