BoxCarKidd, W923, 1999 C12 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Lol , you'd probably need a twin steer with that kind of weight.

NGL, the idea of building a 3412E powered C500 twin steer/tri-drive has been kicking around my head for some time since I got to drive a C500 a few years ago. Thing was an absolute unit and if I could do one my way I would have a heavy haul beast.W923 Thanks this.

Disregard everything I said about the n14 computer engine dropping in and the wiring working
I thought we were talking about a 98
Go with the 3406b/c or if electronic Detroit 12.7
Or maybe you need a kta…. Got a core that probably needs a new home -
Buy the truck you want. By the time you do all that swapping and the down time you could buy 2 of what you want. Exception is buy a sister wreck with what you want. That is still expensive if this truck is your income.Diesel Dave and wore out Thank this.

I have one but it is industrial and mechanical. Never saw one that came in a truck.

I bought this truck really cheap at auction knowing it has a bad engine. It is just a project that I want to have and fix it up as I go my main truck is still running strong. Yes I think buying a wrecked one is going to be the way to goSons Hero Thanks this.
