But I am a Dodge Guy, and a Cummins 12 Valve won't fit fit in the Dreamer.  But a 5.8 Magnum will...

Cummins is owned by Ford, so it’s all good. 

That is false. Ford hasn’t owned any shares of Cummins since the late 90’s. 

He was just trying to bait me into a trap.  cheeky

I don’t have any cash right at this minute, but I would like to see what you have in your driving light collection. 

 

I'll try to get them all into one pile. When I catch up with emails.

That Suzuki is tempting, but TBH i'll need a location and some kind of list of what you're selling.

The info is found on my profile, as mentioned on the first page.  But I already have two serious parties that know the story ahead of you.  None of this was originally intended as an active for sale thread, just a heads up to a group of my favorite car crazy vultures that I am amenable to selling some vehicles that might have never left my possession until I was dead.  Solely to obtain something just a little more asinine than what I already own.  As I put t on my FB page, "If you have coveted any of my vehicles, this may be your chance to score it. But act quick; need some room and folding money..."

An active FS thread would have a lot more info, a list of every vehicle I own, and would take several days to write.   This is more for the folks who already know of something I own, and thought their lives would be better if they owned it instead of me.   It isn't a fire sale or a closeout, as I only am selling to be able to buy the Dreamer.  And only really interested in selling enough to buy the Dreamer.

None of this is meant to be harsh, but I have learned long ago that I come off that way on the intrawebz.  Just trying to state facts so no one is confused.


I have an acquaintance that says they want Chico the Street Eagle sight unseen and want to send a deposit for it.  But I really don't want to do that without at least talking through all of the good and bad of it over the phone. My ability to describe is very limited in text.  I am a horrible typist.   While nothing is totally guaranteed, I really don't want there to be any surprises.  

And while this is under a quote by you it isn't all directed solely at you.  I just wanted a heads up to anyone reading this thread, and it is a PITA to make so many replies (and makes me feel like a postwhore)

But it’s sure fun to think about, isn’t it?  wink

And Mexican built F650/F750’s were available with Cummins engines (and Allison transmissions) from 2011-2015.  wink

Fun to think about what? A Cummins fitting in a Ford or Ford owning Cummins? I honestly don’t care either way. 

And yeah Ford stopped using the Cummins/Allison combo in the medium duty chassis because it was too expensive for them and went back to the Power Stroke.

No, I posted it because I genuinely made a mistake, and then found SBF was right. 

I saw no reason to get uptight about it, so I made a joke.

I am not sure which wagon you mean.  I have 4 wagons there, and just went through all the photos on each of them.  Aside from one photo of the Tan Panther showing up 90° rotated, they all appear to show up for me.

Get the Ford E-Series version as pictured before, swap the Cummins (Cummings :-)).  

It's been done already:

I suppose you could do it to the Dreamer too but I don't like to think about that much weight on a 1/2 ton based rig.

The dreamer is based on a one ton.   

If I wanted the Ford, I could have bought one several times over.   In just the last year alone.

It's dual fuel. I found an old ad for it.   (Much like with the Alto)    It could probably almost go from coast to coast without stopping, if not for the 440 in it. wink

Right, I was picturing a propane powered stove, grill, fridge, pig roaster, air compressor, in the fifth wheel.

 I have enough interest in stuff that I’m selling to have a go at the Alto.

I keep having thoughts of liter bike engines.  Also found out that a T660 Arctic Cat comes with the same motor as an Alto RSR, just cammed for top end and 115hp.

The Arctic Cat swap sounds incredibly awesome.

The Dreamer sold, but the Alto is still yours if you want it.
