In anticipation of getting the Cummins 80 series road legal. I'm writing up a listing for my spare 80 series, which I still use every day. Does this frame number suggest this was the 26th 80 series built?
I've driven a lot of 80 series's , this is the only one I've seen with manual windows, and a dash like a early 90s Hilux
Having indexed the turbo I had to make a bracket for the waste gate actuator. My first plan was to weld some lugs on the compressor housing, copying the lugs cast into the housing that it originally fixed to. But decided not to risk it warping and giving me trouble.
The radiator hoses where easy as,
The top hose is the top hose from the Dodge, shortened and spliced into a generic 1 3/4" 90 deg bend. The Dodge had a 5/16" hose bypassing the thermostat, which I've copied in the 80 series with an 8mm hose tail welded into the top hose jointer spigot.
Using off cuts from my 20mm ally plate, I made a bracket to tie my thermostat housing back to my AC pump bracket.
The bottom hose is just a generic 1 3/4" 45 deg bend, but I did need to modify the inlet spigot on my AC pump bracket. And angle the out let spigot on the radiator
