00:00 Good morning, my name is Jeremy Benson.
00:07 We're at the 2015 SEMA show in the Ramsey Winch booth and this is my 1951 Dodge Power
00:14 Wagon.
00:17 It was an old work truck that I rescued from a guy that lived up in the hills in the Cascade
00:22 Mountains east of Seattle.
00:25 Originally I was going to restore the truck with my family and we decided that it was
00:29 a little too much work because it was all worn out and I had already collected a bunch
00:34 of drivetrain parts for a Cummins swap.
00:37 So we decided to put the Cummins drivetrain in a custom built chassis that I designed
00:46 and this is what it turned out to be.
00:49 So it's a '92 Dodge Cummins out of a 2500 pickup truck with a VE injection pump.
00:59 It's got a HE351 turbocharger off of a 24 valve.
01:04 Bigger injectors, a little bit of pump mods so it's making about 325 horsepower, probably
01:09 650 foot pounds of torque.
01:11 I've got an NV4500 5-speed transmission out of a Dodge 3/4 ton in it and Atlas transfer
01:19 case.
01:20 I've got a 14 bolt GM rear end in it with an ARB.
01:26 Yukon axles and gears in the back.
01:28 The front axle is a custom length Dana 60 that I did the fabrication work on as well.
01:35 It's running a Spicer Super Duty ring and pinion gear and ARB as well in the front with
01:42 RCB axle shafts.
01:45 Yukon also supplied some of their new hardcore hubs for it as well.
01:50 Of course I'm here in the Ramsey booth so that's kind of the focus of why it's here
01:55 and they've been awesome and set me up with this UT9500 and also I had a Sierra winch
02:03 on here earlier so pretty awesome products.
02:08 I did four link in the front, trailing arms in the rear and it's a lot of fun to drive
02:15 around.
02:16 It's pretty good.
02:37 Thanks for watching.
