Make it the ultimate sleeper. No stickers, no flashy paint job, just a well built machine that turns heads when at full boost.

[@communistsimp98]

Love the look of the paint, definitely goes well with this era of truck. The headlights also look decent as well. If it where my truck I would keep the rims the same to give it a stock look.

[@russphillips3732]

Also would love to see you pull apart that old motor to see inside

[@ninefinger2511]

I'm digging the 2nd gen with the 3rd gen wheels with the 4th gen bumper with the 2 tone paint and headlights.

[@Thesongstaysthesame]

4th gen bumpers look good on 4th gen trucks! You don’t strike me as a truck boy!

[@AustenARW]

Looking forward to this build! Thanks for featuring more 12v content. This looks like a nice truck!

[@TannerK._.]

This truck is perfect as it sits.

[@powerstroke4449]

PDD sticker and 4th gen mirrors. Or just tow mirrors in general but then leave it exactly the way it is and go for a sleeper look!!!

Hell yeah ! Love the fourth gen bumper ❤

[@Balakay9435]

Hell Yeah Brother

[@ianmattox4830]

It is cherry! Well, getting there. Interior needs upgrades (along with all 2nd gens lol). I'm a big fan of the two tone tribal, looks great on that truck, and honestly I think the 4th gen bumper swap is very nice! I'd upgrade to smoked wheels (or black) and some halo headlights, smoke the tail lights, and it would be fantastic!

[@tuffy16]

Love the paint !

[@pddofficial]

Thank you

[@lukeschnur8756]

Change the bumper like you said and make a Power Driven logo to match the blue. Awesome project!

[@vincentenk4449]

Will, you need to put that truck in my driveway, then it'll be perfect! After the engine swap of course! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful! Could you give a parts list, some pricing, & what's required different levels of horsepower up to where your max is along with how it goes & daily drives in the future, please?

[@Metalwolf765]

Paint and bumper both look good! Of course it needs your pdd logo :)

[@Quentindanieljones]

Love the bumper. However, I do love a ranch hand full front end replacement so much better

[@hwork50]

I think the bumper looks good but maybe you could make it more of a 2 tone top and bottom like they did from the factory in the 90's. Also, as far as wheels go you should go silver maybe some methods as they have a lot of good looking wheels that would fit your build. Headlights definitely need to be upgraded to something LED as there are products out there.

[@jasongaumont5099]

No I really Appreciate all your talking. You are very helpful thank you so much WILL !!!

[@pddofficial]

Happy to hear that!

[@Izzabumminz]

Any Pearl coat, Gloss black, dark silver, or cherry Red paint job, street scene bumper, and a roll pan , billet inserts in grill, clean ass paint matched tow mirrors with switch backs, custom projector headlight build, chrome or paint matched ditch the amber and get clear reflectors and of course switch backs. Paint matched tails, and badass power driven logos in selective locations. Sometimes less is more

[@nickrockwell3445]

Here at Stanley's wrecker service in the salvage yard there is two sport front bumpers for sale if u paint matched to your truck would look way better than that 4th gen one

[@douglascaseoutdoors8026]

I personally would go with chrome second gen bumper, dark metallic grey paint, 17” wheels of your choosing and a leveling kit with 35”s. Blacked out lights all around, 3rd gen mirrors, black headache rack, and 4” cab dump exhaust.

[@montekingen8839]

Hell yeah brother

[@ManroMulisha]

Nice! Been juggling turning up my 374k mile 94 truck still has tamper proof on the afc housing

[@KenSilvers]

Mine too

[@brianb3960]

Add a chrome grill, I like the front bumper and a power driven logo on the bottom of the door. Add blue LED headlamps to complete the look. I have a stock 96 and ready for upgrades. Love the videos! Thanks! I just found you guys, that's the reason for the delay.

[@pddofficial]

Cool idea

[@joshuatravis6350]

4th gen bumper is the only way to go if you like light bars. The paint scheme is awesome, definitely put some black wheels on it tho, (no bigger than 18s.. Don't need no KFC chicken buckets on it.) I really like the Sport bumper look as well, as long as you don't drive in rural areas when light bars are necessary to not run over deer, or cows.

[@eazymacavelli8375]

That truck looks great. It makes the 4th Gen bumper look good. I personally like the sport bumper the most but I'd keep it like it is if it were mine. I would always have your company name on it somewhere. Atleast a mechanical mafia logo on it lol.

[@joshr398]

2nd gen sport bumper has my vote, along with color matched headlights. The paints pretty unique so I'd leave it, and maybe some black methods and 35s

[@jimclarke4843]

Looks great as is .

[@pddofficial]

Thanks 👍

[@jadebrecks]

My vote I love the old paint (I loved it from the beginning of the video), sport front end, maybe a color matched blue PDD sticker on the bottom of the doors, and last but most important don't put rubber bands on it!!!

[@PoBoysDiesel]

Blessings from Kissimmee FL. Here is my 2 cents. I believe the Truck looks perfectly fine as it is. Specially if it is your daily and you put it to work why even change it. However!!!!! Every now and then we get a ( Wild Hair ) and If it truly feels to you like a make over is needed then by all means. I am a sucker for the Original style or sport bumper, when it comes to the wheels Id take a hard look at it specially if you are doing a lot of towing and want a nice comfortable ride (yes Thinner tires on a big wheel looks amazing) but ride quality will change plus more meat more choices on tires when you have a blow out as well as better Sticky options if you need a bit more traction and less spinning. We all say oh but it looks so good to such a point we lie to everyone and even begin to believe our own lies and say oh it rides just like a brand new truck. But lets be real guys and gals the ride quality changes and its not like these trucks drive like a period correct family car anyways but do you want to worsen the ride quality any more? lol but once again if the looks are important I've always liked the way the pro comp rock crawler Extremes look, The head lights I wouldn't change till they look faded as to the color Well I have to admit I really like the blue that's on it I'm more of a solid color truck guy not so much as a two or three tone but Id make it all the same Blue you have on it already. I know Its a long winded 2 cents looks like this was more of a 99 cent phrase lol Many blessings to all and your loved ones from yours truly in my Hospital bed in Kissimmee FL Po Boy

[@BMWQC]

I think your truck looks great now!!

[@pddofficial]

Thanks 👍

[@jasonchapman1223]

bumper isn’t bad sport bumper is cool too. paints fine definitely need to throw some 12 wides on at least

[@bustedknuckles6051]

Love the OG paint scheme. Just put a sport bumper on and some 20" Mickey Thompson classic 2s for that old school look!

[@joshuagross455]

^^this for sure

[@pddofficial]

Thank you

[@seanbrossard8178]

I was looking at those Mackey for my truck

[@seanbrossard8178]

Mickey

[@davedunn2124]

I dont care for bumper on most trucks but the way you have it painted it actually looks nice.

[@pddofficial]

Thank you Dave

[@hunterharness]

I like the bumper setup Put a power driven sticker in chrome or that blue color Custom headlights And newer chrome wheels

[@baconcreek609]

Paint looks good. I'd go with a Sport front bumper and some 17" method race wheels with some 33s-35s on it.

[@oliverlarrow8279]

Sport bumper would look good but that one is not bad. Get some nice sport headlight housings and some 5th gen wheels if your not looking for offset wheels, I definitely think putting some PDD stickers on it would be cool since your part owner and a nice 4link kit done to the truck

[@jasonsaillor441]

Paint match the mirrors and bumpers. Go back the the sport front bumper and roll pan the rear. Old school Weld Cheyenne offer great looks and a very lightweight strong forged wheel. Nitto Terra Grapplers run smooth and last a long time. They are great for towing and snowy roads.

[@eternalbeing3339]

I like those cummins logo seats. Where did you find them? Custom job?

[@bernhard8540]

The 4th gen bumper looks good on the 3rd gens a little better but it looks good on the 2nd gens also :)

[@bdjm8595]

This ought to be fun!!!!

[@pddofficial]

Thank you for the comment

[@rickgiesbrecht7612]

Sport bumper and new wheels 20x12 for sure!

[@bernhard8540]

My 2004 2500 5.9 is right behind yours with 344,000 miles on the dash and original motor only thing I've done is check the valve lash haha and a good lift pump :)

[@billferris5292]

You should machine up original looking door badges that say Power Driven Diesel where they would normally say Cummins Turbo Diesel. Also 2 tone with those colors, Chrome 2nd gen bumper w/ chrome grill.

[@dewayneellison1916]

Sport bumper, polished 22x12s and 305 toyo proxxies color matched headlights and shes good to go

[@yeahok115sure]

The 4 gen bumper looks badass!! Looks a lot better than the factory stuff from that Era. The paint colors are really good except that terrible tribal crap in the side.

[@bernhard8540]

Maybe cab lights tinted and some slightly smoked upgraded headlights- maybe projectors.. and I like the paint maybe all blue but thats my favorite color haha its a pretty clean truck honestly

[@gwgillman1]

Damn Fine Ol 2nd,my son's 96 he got from me,she is original except a few Mods,326k runs like new,no blowby as of now,I'd ditch the Bumper,not a big fan,but don't look terrible, LOVE these 12 valves,

[@smonk2785]

Keep the look as it is. Wheels tires all of it and just go for power. A sleeper is always more fun to me then any pretty done up looking vehicle.

[@bobh2201]

Keep the tribal. Keep the 410. Add the PDD emblem. Looks good 😊

[@TheKlamminator]

Badass truck

[@pddofficial]

Thanks!!

[@aaronkelley8909]

Cool truck. Keep the two tone, but bring the blue down to the lower section of the door. Loose the tribal.

[@thomasexeter97]

I like the forth gen bumper and the stock bumper. That truck would look the best with a sport bumper though. Also it would look good keeping the period correct tribals and do 98 oem wheels with some aggressive tread all terrain tires

[@pddofficial]

Cool idea

[@73cjproject]

Not a fan of the tribal. I would go with silver with a nice pin stripe set up and some classic looking bullet hole chrome rims and tires. As for headlights usually something retro fitted into the original housings works best. HIDs are hands down the best visual light patterns. I'm not a 4th gen bumper fan on these trucks. However, I am a 1st gen and 3rd gen owner, but I don't like mixing the body panels between the generations. Can't wait to see the engine build. Also if you can let us know how much the build costs.

[@motorlegends1412]

Definitely needs the power driven diesel sticker

[@vr6crfdude]

It’s a nice truck like That but Ditch the 4th gen bumper for A 2nd gen sport and pdd sticker on the doors Keep up the good video 🤘

[@UltimateDriftMachine]

What trans did you have in this truck? You seem confident with the trans build.

[@austinholdsworth0508]

Keep the 4th Gen bumper, it lines up nice.

[@AmericanThunder]

Cool video! I have a 1st gen 6BT in my '78 Bronco, it probably makes 300-325hp at the tires, but the truck only weighs 5200 lbs. lol 0-60 in 5 seconds(vids on my channel) It's a lot of fun shredding most modern cars with my old truck off street lights, being lifted 9" on 35s. lol It's quite a sleeper, I plan on swapping the engine with a P-Pump later on, and shooting for 500+ whp. Your videos give me ideas. Nothing pulls like Cummins Power.

[@jimkillen1065]

Nice truck . I want something to tow with so the extra power is nice but I not sure how much the cooling system can stand at boost towing . That is what i be want in my 95 . I found out the limits of a stock automatic towing in overdrive in my original transmission . I like the front bumper but mine ok . I be interested in a set of towing twins for towing as i dont like to hot rod my truck . I installed a new MIshimoto radiator for cooling also . .

[@lincolnwagoner3064]

Definitely keep that paint job!!!

[@pddofficial]

Thank you for the comments

[@Toadsmith]

It's your truck do what you want don't worry about us

[@alanmontana6497]

I would repaint it in full case IH colors- red and white like a first gen. would be one of a kind and a head turner for sure

[@christopherperigo2515]

Tow mirrors for sure. 2nd gen sport bumper. Keep the paint with some chrome 22x12s. Paint it all blue with chrome 22x12s or all silver with black 22x12s

[@moparman2500]

2nd gen sport bumper paint it all over the blue on top ( silver is over used) good headlights and tail lights. For wheels personally I'd go with 5th 2500 wheels on a nitto A/T

[@flumbertronace3597]

How many miles do you have on the fire rings? I am looking to make upwards of 1200hp on my 12 valve but still would like to drive it more than just on the track. I hear mixed reviews about fire rings, some saying with constant heat cycles they fail over time, what has your experience been like?

[@JLA1911A1]

Leave the 4th Gen underbite just for the haters brother! I have a tired ol ‘99 24V thats been making a solid 400ish wheel hp for years. 4th gen bumper and all. Haha. Its way more of a shitbox than yours Will and I love it!

[@Logan-wn6og]

I think you should use some deep dished chrome rims

[@Korruptionen]

I have found the 4th gen bumper swap intriguing, but eventually it just doesn't look at home on the truck the more I look at it. Metal bumpers look best on these trucks.

[@bermanss350]

Personally the paint is awesome she's got the old school feel, put a set of 16x12s on that girl and rock out

[@RR-cv9tn]

Does the transmission have billet input intermediate and billet output shafts? I really wanna know if its necessary to go billet shafts to hold 1500 lb torque

[@garycraig4277]

I like I was just looking at it thinking that’s my fourth gen bumper

[@valve-do3jc]

4 gen bumpers are for stanced trucks with owners who would fit better in a front wheel drive car. The tribal tramp stamp fits perfect in Utah. At least in Ogden when I lived there

[@bunsguns8222]

I don't hate the bumper. Can't decide if I like it though. Honestly there aren't many bumpers out there for 2nd gens that I like, probably why mine is still stock.

[@dhillanroy8749]

Ditch the sport grille, go basic black mesh Amazon special non sport, factory bumper black and make the paint all silver IMO.. helluva truck more power than my old Gen 1 makes!

[@descargaelbano]

Old school AFC live? I still have that big clunker still in the box ready to install several years later!

Keep the paint. Simple wheel and tire package. Nothing to flashy. As stock looking as possible.

[@Chase-kb4zy]

Arkon Lincoln’s would be sweet!

[@CapeCodCNC]

4th gen bumper has to go. I just did a Morimoto MLED retrofit in my 96 and they are fantastic for night driving. Paint is so-so not a fan of silver, go with a solid color. Patriot blue is a good looking color. Going to go satin cement gray with black accents on mine. Carli commuter 3" kit with control arms and rear springs, the ride is incredible just like a caddy, with long travel airbags for towing.... Don't forget adjustable track bar and T style tie rods and a Red Head quick ratio box..... 315/70" Toyo AT's on Ultra wheels

I think u should do either all blue sport or all sliver sport. Wheels go with chrome bullet hole rims like pro comps with some 285's on it. My 96 has 485000 mileson it has compound turbos. It's never been apart still on the original headgasket.

I have 4k gov springs, 7x11 injectors, 024dv, no fuel plate, I tune my afc housing, 16 degrees pump timming, I have a pdd hot rod lift pump with a sump in the tank. I used a crazy Carl piping kit and a dap manifold, head studs tq to 130 ftlbs stock push rods and valve springs. It will max out a 70psi boost. Great setup for towing and daily driving. Highest I set my egts was 1100 that was pulling my 6000lb gooseneck with a crew cab 4th gen on trailer. My truck is auto.
