Serious truck. 4bt engine

k. i want this. 4 cylinder cummins turbo diesel chevy s10. 4x4. well id rather build my own and make it a mini tank of a truck tho. all it needs is a more solid frame. steel bumpers and that would be indestructible.

Why not in a jeep? There much more stronger and capable.

Jeeps don't have beds

k2500 understands. the bed is where its at. extended cab 6ft bed. and i could do whatever the heck i wanted to do to this thing. frame reinforcements and solid steel bumpers. a winch. roll cage. run it on like 30's with 16" rims. that may be to big for that. idk. it would get around 20 mpg. maybe more if i was lucky. 400ft lbs of torque 150hp.

Are you actually gonna do this?

idk. id love too. if i get the money i would
edit: if i get the money i will

Ehh...?


Yeah I know not the kind of Jeep we were all thinking lol
But still... it is cool right? haha...

the old comanchees do yes but id still rather drive a chevy over a jeep anyday. personal preference as ive seen some bad ass jeeps myself. i just dont like the feel of them. chevy is my style.

wow a forum for it too. lol

Jeep made a truck. J-Series pickups, most commonly refered to as Gladiators.. Then there was the Comanche basically a cherrokee unibody pickup.

i guess if a bed is what you want so be it lol. just thought you wanted to be good offroad truck LOL jk. Jeeps and ls engines are the answers in my world  

or maybe take a chevy 2500 frame with 1500 suspension and a cummins 6 cylinder. i think thats 600ft-lbs and idr the hp rating on those engines. id get a adapter plate for a allison transmission to mount to the engine and run 1 ton axles under it. i would like 1500 suspension instead of 2500 as its obviously softer supsension. lighter weight. all i would carry is tools and passengers. id still stick too ext cab and 6ft bed.. and its all on what you like red. i like my chevys. not a big jeep fan honestly.

Yeah maybe some 2500 with a solid front axle. That will save you a ton of hassle

my point exactly red. lol. solid axles front and rear. i think the s10 would be less cost tho as its small and the ford 5 speed bolts right on. gotta love stick shift

if i did the s10 tho id want to swap in custom length 1/2 ton solid axles front and rear. and id love to use a chevy transmission so i could keep everything simple and chevy based. just bolt the engine in and go kinda thing. you know

I personally would rather have a 400 small block! More ponies lol.

id make a 383 stroker if i was after the hp. lol. i would like a smooth mix of mpg and power like diesels have. but in a small truck.

200hp and 400ft-lbs of torque is plenty for a little truck honestly. Lol

Ya ya I know all bout jeep type trucks cause I got one lol I was talking bout like the cj's and wranglers

ive come to the conclusion. when i build this its going in a 2nd gen dodge ram 1500 ext. cab with 1 ton (dana 60) axles. a nv4500 transmission from a cummins. engine mods will be new injectors, cam, better turbo (eventually), solid bumpers, probably 3" lift with the biggest tires i can fit under it on 16's and upgraded axle components

Sorta like what I'm doing to my 70 chevy 6bt 12 or 24 valve maybe a common rail, 30 frame, Dana 60 front, full float 14 bolt rear, nv4500v, 8-10in of lift 37s military tires at first then 40s, victory red, gonna be sweet!

im thinking red but idk what shade. and id go 24 valve. i hear they got more oomph. id like to put dual black hood scoops and a roll cage in the bed. with the mods i wanna do i think the 4bt will pump +/- 200hp and 400 ft/lbs.

Ive been wanting to do pretty much exactly what k said but with a ford, jeep or an 80s dodge.
