Pretty well as she rolled out of the factory, except for a HY35 turbo instead of a H1C, swapped the A518 to a Getrag 5 speed, and salt based weight reduction on the rocker panels
Build story
Not much to tell, missed having a 12 valve and needed something to pull a cattle trailer. So had a chance to pick up this former rodeo rig with 515,000 kms. Stole the turbo and downpipe off the 01 2500 I was wrecking, and blew the transmission so swapped in the 5 speed for more control on the revs and ruggedness pulling trailer, and built a headache rack because smashed back windows suck. She's a little rough around the edges and typical old farm truck but has yet to let me down.
