Popular Post Wobblin-Goblin Posted April 6, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2017 You guys might remember my last two winter projects: 'Mater, a 1964 B61SX and a B81SX. This winter, I had to divert my attention to my Dodge Cummins because the frame was bad. After pulling off the bed, I made new frame rails to go from under the cab all the way back to the rear axle. The new rails are pretty deep at 13.50" and should add quite a bit of strength. Then I mounted a new flatbed with a gooseneck ball. Here are some pics of the project. The truck has an exhaust brake, airbags, heavier-than-stock rear suspension, a "splitter," and 300hp/600tq under the hood. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49430-this-winters-project-1994-dodge-3500-cummins-dually/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ike Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Nice work... By a splitter, do you mean a two speed rear?

Freightrain Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Nice work. Strange the sheetmetal looks pretty nice, as those trucks would rot to pieces like any of the trucks of that vintage. Heck even a 5 yr old pickups I see with fenders rotted off, wheel lips hanging, etc. Do those people even wash their vehicles, ever? I would guess it has a Gear Vendor OD unit?

Wobblin-Goblin Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yes, the "splitter" is an OD transfer case. Not sure of the manufacturer. It's either a US Gear or Gear Vendor. BTW, the first pic is about five or six years old. The sheet metal doesn't look nearly as good now (especially the rocker panels), so I'm planning on having the cab re-done and painted. The paint on the hood and roof is peeling off pretty badly.

h67st Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Those new frame rails look plenty beefy. Do you use this truck to make a living?

I own a construction company and have four trailers that I tow equipment and forms on.
