Simply can't find a word to describe how AMAZING this IDI is!


Well built camper hauler rig for sure!

I found this a few days ago and put it up in the lounge. Not my cut but sure is setup to tow in comfort. Maybe not style but sure has what it takes. I cringe looking at the front end of the engine where we have to work sometimes... Wow that tight...

 

[79jasper]

I remember Gary's posting of it.

Definitely a pain to work on, but I'd swap in a zf-5 and D60 front.
Then I'd drive the shiat out of that thing. :smokin

 

[IDIDieselJohn]

After doing head gaskets in my 2 vans, I have no problem owning, or working on that thing. I'd go for a ZF5 to, but I'd stay 2wd. No need for 4x4 on something like that! That's a highway queen!

:O that rear bench!

 

[79jasper]

Hmmm... That is a good point Jon.
What would be cooler in it is a DT of some sort. Doubt it could happen, but sounds sweet.

Maybe just a bigger truck trans with a splitter.

 

[MedicMoe]

Not my cup of tea, but that thing is amazingly clean!

Cant say that i care for the van body but if someone did something as clean as that with a pickup body i would be all over it

Oh yes! Actually just an old 12V Cummins be nice, with a brownie, and manual shift spilter and the main tranny. 3 sticks to keep you awake in that beauty



Anyone else notice the Bullnose truck factory dash tach installed where the radio should be. I'm LOVING that idea!

Yep. I'm just not too big a fan of the cummins.
I like me some 2 stroke Detroits though.

I didn't even notice the dash. Lol

 

[IDIDieselJohn]

Same here, all show and no go


But good luck fitting a Detroit in there, a useful one anyways.

Lol. I is starting to think this would be easier to start with a crew cab and do that sleeper thing.

 

[GOOSE]

I mentioned the tach in Gary's thread, 1st I've seen in a van.

 

[Greg5OH]

Speaking of crewcab sleeper, ever since i got mine, ive ben thinking of making futon style hinges for the front bench, so you push forward on the backrest part, it unhinges and the whole bench slides forward, reclines all the way back to connect with the seat part of the rear bench. 3 mini sofas!! Might have to remove the shifter handle but its worth the small hassle to have a nice bed!

 

[ZWilson07]

I personally think 9 grand is pretty decent price for the rig.

I wonder what the reserve is set for though, probably crazy high!
