How to Read this Blog
When I started this blog, I could not figure out, within the given parameters, how to get it to read logically. So it ended up with the freshest post on the top of the page with the top of the post being the beginning of the post. When you get to the end of the post, you will find the beginning of the previous post. A bit awkward, but ...it is what it is. (right David?)
Also, feel free to leave comments. I engaged the annoying "real person verification thingy" because some dork put an add to his product on my blog and disguised it as a comment. He probably works on wall street.

This site is a documentary of the teardown and build-up of my 1977 Dodge Crew Cab 4x4. I put a 440 in it about 10 years ago, but, with the price of gas, it is time to replace the big block with a cummins. My doner truck was a 1992 totaled 4x4 auto, but I hope to be putting in a Nv4500 5-spd before it is done. It should be fun. I just got started today. Wheeee.

bummer! hope you are feeling better soon.
I'm looking forward to watching your project unfold; a cummins crew cab would be my dream truck.
