The idea of the cummins conversion was a toy'ed idea at this point. Step one was to make the cruiser handle...
Hydro boost brake booster for the 4 wheel disc brake conversion
rebuild front and rear axles
Tear down time.

Saginaw Power steering

Front axle removed, stripped, rebuilt, wilwood disc brake conversion, Skyjacker soft ride 2.5" lift springs, and some other crap...

New brake lines, Procomp ES3000 shocks, steel braided flex brake lines, and new u-bolts (Of course)
I have yet to see a straight OEM tierod bar so as a rule of thumb for me I either replace them with heavier DOM bars or sleeve them like I did here.
New tie rod and drag link ends.
Power steering pump retro fitted to the 2F... For now

Rear axle time:
Rear axle removed, stripped, rebuilt, and GM disc brakes installed.
Skyjacker soft ride 2.5" lift springs, Procomp ES3000 shocks, new brake lines and phase 1 is done...

The cruiser was delivered and driven for a good 2-3 months when the decision was made to move forward on the cummins conversion..
What you see here is:
2013 4.5L Cummins
Rebuilt NV4500
and a few other boxes of goodies...

Inter cooler / intake system amost DONE!
