I just came across a sweet deal and couldn't pass it up. 1990 D250 2wd, cummins 5.9, automatic overdrive. Runs perfect, strong, pulls hard. Only dilemma is....hate dodge trucks...love chevys. Has anyone out there transplanted a 6cyl cummins into a c20 or k20 ? I'd like to put it in a 73-87 chassis if it is do-able. Maybe even a 67-72 would be neat. i realize the CTD is long and tall, could be a problem, and what trans to use would be the next question....
If there is any good info available or personal experience, please pass it on, good or bad. I may have to resort to leaving it as is and making peace with driving a Mopar, but it will hurt my pride to take off my bowtie. Onlt reason I'd like it is to carry a 10-12 foot truck camper to swap meets. My C10 carries my 1000 # 8 footer, pulling a tandem trailer full of junk, but she's maxed out..I drive her daily and don't want to hurt her too badly.
Maybe a C30 or k30 Crew Cab would make a nice home for the CTD ? Lots of camper carrying and people carrying room...
ideas ?
Thanks, Kev :D
