Like it was said earlier Painless Performance wiring harnesses are awesome. Everything wire labeled multiple times so there is no confusing any wires. Redid my cj5 with one and it was a breeze. 

That's the way I'm leaning towards.

I'm guessing its a different manifold then the b61.     I'd like to see a picture of a turbo b67 if anyone has one.        Back to original question a b series 5.9  cummins  would prob fit since its only 360 cubic inch.    If you'd step up to the 8.3 prob run back into body clearence issues.    Overhaul would prob be most practical option.

466 wont fit easy, water pump shaft is too long, and why would you wanna? open a can of worms with motor mounts and everything else. find a 237, drop it in with a few mods. 

What will it take for exhaust manifold?    I don't think a standard one will clear turbo will it?

I don't think the 466 will fit.  On our b67 the motor is tucked into a dog house already.    If I remember phantom309 had to put dog house into his and he had a standard length hood.    I think he used a sink if I rember.   Also the motor is set in leaning to the right to make room for the drivers feet.   I think you will run into turbo clearence issues.     From what I've been told they did make turbo b67's so it is possible with the proper tools.    ( torch & welder)

. I converted to dry when my turbo V8 went in as well. Paid $200 for a stainless take-off from Strickland's Salvage. Are you close to Adelman's Truck Salvage? They should have a pile of filters from just about everything. $100 should get one...

Your B is really sharp.   I'd  really like to see a pic of the passenger side of it to see your air cleaner.      I think I gave $100-150  for the one I used.  

 this was before we shortened it.  It looked ok but it was out of proportion.

I'm wanting to get a dry element, but just don't want to spend that much money right now(Watts has them).

I have a stainless one off a freightliner classic.  It's the Nelson not Donaldson.    My buddy crossed filters over and found one about 3" shorter. Then he cut the welds and shortened the housing.  Also had to weld a new neck on it.   I don't tig weld so its at his shop now.   This is the only pic I have right now.                                        

I figured he sat it in and realized how small the cab was inside.   Then I realized it was a standard cab not a contour like mine.  :-(

All you can do is call Customer Satisfaction at  +1 (866) 298-6586 and speak with a clueless individual who only knows that a truck is bigger than a car.

 

Very sad but true.   Hopefully they speak English that you can understand.   

24" seems kind small.   These fit  nice under my B cab.   I just had to do a little trimming and make my own  brackets.  I wouldn't of had to but I wanted to suck them in close so the bottom step wouldn't stick way out past the front fender.                                         

My dad had a new not reman signature series cummins put in his kw and it never left cummins shop it blew up on the dyno.    From what they could tell a rod bearing was put in upside down.  Quality in general is sadly a thing of the past.                       

It's between 30"-31" wide depending where you measure.    And it's 29" deep from the very back of the mounting flange to the very front of the bottom step.     15" tall     The steps on my dads KW are bigger but he left already so I can't measure them.    They are taller and wider.  

Pete, kenworth, and freightliner each have there own style step/box.    In my opinion a 379 Pete has the nicest and simplest style.  It just hangs off the frame on 2 heavy angle iron peices, so it's easy to adjust where you need it.   But they are a little $ just because of the name.     sorry about the fence but the one on right is toolbox and left is battery box.    I found the pair for $300 

I've looked at the universal harnesses online and thought that would be a good starting point.  

I've heard old guys around here say "if it ain't one of those ceramic things you gots to sit there with the breaks on and slip it in.  Or its gonna slip."    

Personally I like the longer wheelbase.    But look at the stretch on the airlines.    It's gotta be a warm weather truck.

I saw a b-30 or B-42 (can't quite remember which) that had a Chrysler in it and the owner claimed it to be original. Any truth to that?

I bought some parts off a b-42 and it had a Chrysler v8

If its gonna be forsale keep us informed.   My wife and 2 kids would fit a little better in that then my b-67

Sorry they where at 2100 rpm.   

If you steped up to a 12r 22.5 tire.
