Yeah, you'd have a comfortable riding rot box with a Cummins in it! :lol:

Yeah, but you have multiple companies that offer every OEM replacement interior/exterior part you could need for an older GM. None for our dodges yet. The older dually chevys are ugly though. Dont get me wrong, I have never owned a chevy and I like my Dodge the best.

Tory have you figured out the intake horn yet? As said earlier, a forward facing intake horn might be the trick. I have a great medium/HD junkyard in town and they always have industrial 6B's and C's cores with that intake horn. Less than $20 they can be had. I'm pretty sure I seen one recently there. I can grab you one if you like. Also they are 3" intake horns, not 2.5" like a 1st gen Dodge. Text me.

Thanks Bill but i think I have it figured out. Im going to come off the horn with a 45 degree boot downward and then fab the pipe from there.

I'll keep that in mind though when I upgrade my turbo and intercooler down the road. A 3" intake horn would be great.

You got that right! It's frustrating to have a truck rotting around you and not finding parts, and the chevy guys can get anything. ;)
