How much is it to CUMMINS swap?

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

REMEMBER, this is a rough/ the price of our build. Prices change all the time so just be sure to look out for the best deals close to you. Hope you find good priced stuff for your builds!

Body swaps are always something to keep in mind. Dropping a 65c10 body on a 2g I've got rn.

[@elcajoia619]

Cummins 12 valve cores are $2500 to $3000 just to rebuild, don't believe me do Craigslist National searches, makes me sick to my stomach I put it off the last 12 months, but on the flipside, new $70k diesel trucks motivates me on my 87' bricknose.

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Running 12v Cummins I just found on Facebook marketplace for 2k, dude has video proof of it running too. You can find em man. Craigslist is poop anyway haven't been on there in forever. You'll find something!

@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I have a setup I bring with to start and run them when they are sitting on someones floor with oil pressure too, I leave it all together so it takes 5 min for me to check it out.

[@oscarbear7498]

I just found the whole truck running for $2k and I was dealing him down to 1.5k then it got sold Uhhhh

Owned many many ,67 to 79 Ford trucks , the steering boxes are not very good if you have the power assist cylinder good luck , front cab mounts rot out , but they are a tank.

Time for a project!

[@mapquestHs]

Love it! My vote is keep the wagon wheels, they’re timeless 😊

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Oh they'll be kept! Just gotta get some good tires for long trips!

[@Str8sixfan]

surprising (a little) but it's honest. And that's what's best. Really gives the next person a solid point of reference. Nice work!

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

It's not much but it's honest work 😂 thanks man

[@kevinlewis9151]

I'm planning on Cummins swapping a 70s Ford but having a tough time finding a 4 wheel drive and I prefer an Allison transmission and hoping to build a vegetable oil salvaging truck also.

[@martydalzell6972]

i put a 68 m100 mercury on a 98 dodge 3/4 ton frame. bought the frame for $2000 and got the truck for a case of beer. all said and done im $4500 deep into the build.

[@martydalzell6972]

when i say frame. i mean rolling frame. motor, tranny, transfer case etc

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

That's awesome!

[@thatcoolguy2763]

That transmission is very easy to wire the overdrive to a switch. That’s what I did to my suburban.

I have a 78 F100. I want to swap it to 4x4 with OBS F250 front and rear axles. Would also love to swap it to diesel. Going to be a slow and tedious project

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Slow and steady wins the race. We've never had good luck rushing a project haha!

[@StrawHatGarage]

Always an option for a frame swap, might be cheaper in the long run

[@F.J.B]

Nice to know I wasn't too far off when I figured I'd need around $7k. I'm wanting to do a Cummins swap with a late 60's-70's ford f100.

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Yeahhhh and it might be a tad more expensive now sadly.

Hello could you get a video of the wiring for the highboy. I’m stuck and need help

You mentioned an advanced adapter…what was it and price range please…thanks in advance…!

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Advanced adapter... Motor mounts or which part are you referring to?

[@offgridmangogrower]

@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps your parts list from advance was just motor mounts? Or did you get adapters too…? Looks like your still with the 12v auto….

I got a mint 79 f150 body for $800 so that $4500 for a body is a stretch

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

We said engine and trans in it

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Everyone's area is different for pricing along with other circumstances like if it comes with a drive train if it's a 4x4 or 2wd! Good find!

[@Camaron9769]

@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps ahh was just assuming you’d not need one with a trans or motor if you’re doing a swap but yeah mine was a short bed 4wd with a bulldog 4 speed and no motor haha definitely a lucky find

i got a 77 f250 super cab for $500 running driving mint interior and no rust probably the luckiest find i’ll ever get

[@anchorbrandranch]

I have a 76 custom cab in pretty good condition and a factory Cummins ( not out of a dodge) I want a forever solid simple Ranch truck one problem is the old ford is 2wd. Can it be modified to 4wd? Are you interested in the job? Also could make a KZbin collab if the build

[@minnesnowda2510]

If anyone in minnesota has a lift that I can use I got a 2003 Kodiak Wrecker I’m rebuilding a bit and I would love to swap the trans and put a 5.9 p pump in it instead of that POs dirtymax, this would be my first Cummins swap so I’m looking for help. Anyone have suggestions what shops would help me with this near Wisconsin Iowa or MN

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Hope you find the help!

[@offgridmangogrower]

Are you saying There might be some “death wobble”….?

[@DailyDrivenDeathTraps]

Due to the unbalanced old military tires totally haha

[@andresalvarado1420]

Do you use the same transmission? The c6?

[@TheRossillini]

What trans you running?

[@jordanremsen2295]

have a 74 highboy custom and i was going to put a 4-53T in it but i might do this since its cheaper cool rig you got there
