I have larned once you have a dump you seem to have more friends, you know what same goes with a tractor. i have people calling me already for next year.

Very impressive LD1. When I looked at the first post I thought, "there's a truck I'd put an engine and a flat bed on and use around the place". After another post or two I found out that's exactly what you did and more. Nice dump system as well! Personally, on a work truck I like a stick shift but to each their own.

Thanks for all the kind remarks so far.


The truck actually used to be a stick, but at one time I had a plow on it and an auto is a lot better for that purpose. I also swapped due to the 203-205 double t-case setup. The only tranny I had that would hook to the 203, which is the t-case that is first in-line, was the 727. All me NP standards were hooked straight to the 205's.
