I have been working on this project for a customer of mine for some time, I've finally got enough progress to share. I decided to share it here because of the info I have gained by lurking around this site has saved me quite a bit of time. I am also in the process of putting a 4bt into an fj40 landcruiser for a friend of mine, and have been gathering parts for my own 6bt powered fj60 cruiser wagon, so I have definitely spent some time here. I have owned a couple cummins powered trucks, and done many engine conversions, but these three are my first cummins conversions.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
1988 blazer, repowered with 1995 12 valve out of dodge 1ton, 47rh trans- to be rebuilt by fred swanson, and 205 transfercase. Axles are dana 60 front, 14 bolt rear, w/ ARBs in both. Suspension will be custom leaves by Alcan, sitting low on 35s. The Blazer will be built as a light duty tow rig/ camping truck/ "reason to hang out in the shop and drink beer with the dog instead of honey-do-list"
This is the blazer in question:
