As far as i know it is? 97 d70 is on the truck now.

94 chrysler 9.25 was on the truck before, failed and was replaced.

I have the build sheet and door sticker from the axle donor truck. Unfortunately not the engine donor tho.

Is this the original axle, or the one that is on it now? That is NOT a full floating axle.

Air intake.
Whatever that is on top of the radiator.
something or other on the drivers side fender well.
No A/C? Doesn't even look like the bracket is there for it..... Didn't think that was a thing.....
What's the sensor between the filter, and air hat??

Truck used to be dual fuel but propane became more difficult to get than the inspections are to pass so i took the tank out for now. The pass fender is knock controller / spark advance for propane i believe. Other reason i havent maintained the system. Board has a bad pin and will eventually fail. Even the manufacturer doesnt know what it is exactly.

A/c kills me and i really needed the extra room to maintain that .5 hp gain so i chopped the bracket. Probably helps airflow a bit but doesnt look like missing pieces. Belt is a toyota taco. Lol

Intake is propabe related stuff. Ive gutted the mixer so my air in doesnt suffer but id like to find a nice looking cai (yes i know stock is cai but fugly) to replace it and shelf the propane bits until some unforeseen day in the future.

Air dam is the LED to replace egr mode. Lights when idling. Not recommended as it's a good way to get a ticket but its pretty dim so they'd already be on you for something else. Lol

White board is accessory fuses and relays. I want to move all that stuff to passenger side soon but it will be a lot of work and money. It started with 1 or 2 extra wires to battery and grew into a full nest.
