    Frame swap?

    Im not too concerned about modifying cab mounts. My thoughts are, I plan on a hemi swap, and upgrading the steering and suspension, and we'll have to modify the frame anyways for the air ride setup. It would be convenient if the first hemi gen 1500 was a similar frame. But, browsing around...

    Frame swap?

    Anyone done a newer frame swap under a D150? Like a hemi 1500 or something?

    This truck was definitely built for the strip by the original owner. Traction bars are a great way to get power down, and keep the rear planted. I'll be doing a 4 link with the air set up, so those bars and shocks will be up for sale this spring.

    thanks for the reply. Im guessing the notch on the collar behind the steering wheel is for tilt? (it doesnt do anything currently)

    Air bag suspension setup

    Ill be putting my truck on air in the next couple of months. Ive done airride projects in the past, so I might be able to help you with the components. As for modifying the truck specific stuff, thats something Im finding out myself. The objective is to keep neutral geometry at ride height...

    New Project! 85 D150 Shortbox

    Well my trhoughts are, the engine bay is basically fresh, we're modifying the frame anyways. Theres a few 5.7 lx hemis for sale in my area. My biggest issue Im finding is what transmission I should get. I want column shift, for daily driving / highway cruising. I dont plan on making a ton of...

    Also, the brake pedals on these things are a mile away form the throttle! Im guessing at some point someone has found a work around or lever swap for this?

    Well after looking at prices and considering I have to swap mounts and install anyways, I think Im going to go with a hemi. The next info Im tracking down is what tranny to use. I have a line on a 07 hemi with trans from a 300. Im looking at putting an aftermarket steering column in as well, and...

    New Project! 85 D150 Shortbox

    I think so. make a bit of a pro tour build out of it, while still sittin low. I have some questions! A quick search didnt really answer these... 1. what steering columns have people swapped from newer trucks? 2. will the tail lights from a newer truck fit? Like the 89-90 style, with no...
