Diesels are ALL 1 ton no matter what the badge says. Yes the frames are lighter but Numerous have done the swap. Best to find a Donor Truck and if the same wheelbase Just swap your body over but Not a must.




Find a 1st gen Cummins truck with a beat body and swap them. You can swap in the NV trans from a newer truck or if you get an intercooled 1st gen you can convert a 518 to a lockup converter. You will need to modify the core support for the radiator and intercooler.
