Thread: 93 cummins w250 2wd

Welcome Aboard. What else do you have to build this project? So far you've got a motor/ tranny combo.. chassis.. and what to set on top of it?
The cummins combo would be unique..

I don't have a body yet still looking for something in 50s or 60s. I am in Canada btw. My biggest concern is should I use the dodge w250 frame or go with something else?? Like s10 frame??

I think you're going about your project wrong, asking questions about what frame to use before you have any idea what body you'll be using. Grafting a later model (50's to 60's) body to a truck frame may sound like a cake walk but to do it right and make it look right is a huge, huge task. IMO you need to make a few basic decisions about what end result you're wanting to achieve before you start asking questions about what frame to use. It's a whole lot easier to make some custom motor & tranny mounts to mate to a common body/frame package than it is to adapt a body to a frame, which may not match up with your engine. Plan your work, then work your plan. Anything else will be throwing good money after bad.

Welcome to CHR, BTW.
