My next project will be moving a faithful White Magic Pro 2000 from an extended 1999 Chevy 3500 into a 2012 Chevy 2500.
Should be pretty straight forward putting it all back together, restoring as I go. The glitch will be going from the 5.7 engine to the 4.8 in the newer one. Also going from vacuum pod speed control to electronic.
I'll take some pictures as I go, even of my goof ups.
The last time the '99 needed to work was last November just before our AZ trip. We've managed at reduced capacity since then with the 2014 Chevy/ prochem 405 setup. However I missed the ease of the direct drive setup, and occasionally NEED two trucks here. Justin lets me borrow one of his, but it gets crunchy juggling routes.
Somebody said it couldn't be done, so that made the project irresistible to me. Suggestions and such appreciated. I'll try to remember how to post pictures again.
Thanks!
