Interesting Cruiser with Cummings Conversion

[grando]

I was lurking on the bay and saw this. Perhaps it might interest some of the diehard cruiserheads. Its a lifted 92 FJ80 and converted to Diesel. Interesting truck!

Wow, definitely piques my interest. Wonder if the 6 cylinder cummins would fit? Talk about a power wagon if it did!

Cool little project. He's right about those 4 cyl Cummins motors though... I've heard they are real shakers... what are they used in normally?

He had it on our local Craigslist for a while. Guess it didn't sell.

I am guessing he will get at least what he wants out of it. It appears to be a nice conversion. There were 2 60/62 series with a Cummins conversion a few weeks ago, one was just a typical nice rig and it brought close to $20,000, the other was an expedition set-up, really nice and I think it brought around $23,000. I think he is hurting his sale by being so honest about the engine. I didn't even consider the Cummins for a swap because of the noise, way too much for a daily driver, just pull up next to a Frito Lay delivery truck sometime at a light and imagine what it is like in the cab, great engine though.
