Default Project truck what do you guys think

Hey guys, im putting up some pictures of my truck that im building and wanted to know what you think... likes dislikes suggestions. It is a 1991 ram 250 cummins frame and drivetrain from a truck that was rolled. I tore the body off and put on an old Power Wagon cab and front end, right now a have some crappy 38s on there... it is coming along kinda slow due to lack of time but i plan on really working on it a lot this spring/summer... so tell me what you think and sorry for the bad quality photos they are from my phone. I also have some pics as i was building it if you want also.
I figured you guys would like this because its a cummins

interesting! i thought about a project 55 chevy truck or ford f100 with a 12v in it. I know some guys have been using a 4 cylinder cummins in many projects. they find them out of old delivery trucks. They have a forum on it as well... I think it's a 4bt motor...

how soon before you think it's road worthy?

oh yeah, and I also considered the feasability of dumping a TDI motor in a FWD TT. some have talked about it over on the TDIclub forums but it doesnt look like anyone has done it yet. Audi is now putting a TDI motor in the 2008 TT's over in europe.

Great looking project! I want to put a 12v in something like a mid 80's Bronco outfitted with dana 60 and 70 front and back.
