IDMJ

Thanks. It's coming along slowly.

Got my fuel tank brackets done. I used the stock MJ tank straps and, cut new holes in the frame to match the new rails. TJ tank with XJ pump. Tank is out to have the fuel filler neck moved to the side to match the fuel door on the bed.

Traced it down to a fuse in the pdc. Looks good, ohms bad..... Grrrr

Added a ground to the fuel pump and, it's cycling now. But of course my gauges quit again.

Thanks for the advice. I found an fsm in PDF that I'm perusing now. This thing is really trying my patience.

It will work for the front. If you do a spring over in the rear, that will get you about the same lift in back.

Well, after the last month I think I'm about ready to push this project off a cliff. Spent 3 weeks chasing a " no bus" issue. Stupid airbag control module ground. 😈 Before I started this swap I made sure all systems worked and I had no cel's. Now, my horn, power windows, door locks and, turn signals don't work. My brake light switch now sits about 1/8" away from the pedal assembly and, I don't see any adjustment. Also, fuel pumps not running but, gas gauge works....... Does anyone have a diagram that shows what the connectors that plug into the fuse panel go to?

You can swap the speedo drive from the old style mechanical right into the later style electric.....

Looks great!

Kinda what I’m shooting for.😏

Today was very productive . Installed new water pump, thermostat, header, hoses, and belt. Drivetrain is in. Under hood is probably 80%.

.

Ouch!

This is what I was asking about.

I have one and, I’m not sold on that either. I’m thinking a TJ tank rear mounted.

Thanks. I read that thread last week! I actually think after some measuring and thinking about it that I am going a different route. I'll document it.....

There were companies (copperhead fab, GenRight) who made adapters for installing XJ ho pumps in an MJ tank a few years back. I know the tank has to be modified. I just can’t find those adapters any more.

Doing the ‘89 to ‘99 swap and in looking at my fuel tank/ pump options I keep coming back to using my renix tank with an adapter ring for the ‘99 pump. Problem is, I can’t seem to find one. Anybody have a good lead or even have one to get rid of?

Made some more headway the last couple weeks. Stripped the floor pans and got them coated. Let it set a week and started assembly. Put new heater core and a/c evaporator in before installing the heater box. Installed the dash and, steering column, main wire harness, brake booster/master.

Here’s another one of ours.

It's a 63 with 50k original miles. Found it sitting in a field 15 years ago. Had a dealer installed Chevy 327. It now has a Nova subframe and was getting setup for an lt1 but, plans have changed again.i have a 12 valve Cummins and nv4500 for it.....

I think I’m going with the original blue.

Haven’t posted in a while. Slowly moving forward. Completely gutted it and moved all the appropriate holes around on the firewall. Got the heater box test fit and the upper dash mounts in. Dash fits great.

Do you have any updates on this swap?

Made some tear down progress today. I swapped the doors out for the ‘99 power ones and, got a lot of the interior pulled and the drivetrain almost ready to pull.
