EV2RUNNER OP mopar Joined: May 2004 Posts: 433 St.Clairsville Ohio	So I bought an 87 Generic Motors 3500 Dually Yesterday with a Rollback Bed on it. My plan is to strip the Chebby Drivetrain and Body, and replace it with my 68 440, and NP435 4 speed, and put either a 74-93 or 94-05 Cab and clip on it. Now my question is, has anyone ever used a GM PTO Box on a NP435 Tranny? I believe it's a Chelsea, but I haven't degreased it yet.The mounting bolt holes look the same I am just concearned with the drive gear meshing in the tranny. Thanks for your input!

It shouldn't be a problem but even if they are not the same I'm sure you can change the gear in the PTO. PTOs are pretty standardized.

If you want a dodge , why not just find a dodge to start with or just keep it all chevy ? Nothing wrong with that . Unless of course you just have TOO much time and mismatched parts on your hands chevodgelet

I assume this endeavor is about cost of those things so bring it on.

I will have under $5000 in the truck by the time Im done.I would love to have a newer Dodge Cab and Chassis to put this bed on but I don't have $50,000 extra dollars laying around.The only thing GM will be the frame..The drivetrain and body will be all Mopar 68 440 and NP435..And I would keep it all Chevy if the body and motor were decent, the body is rusted out and the 350 is whipped, so I may as well swap the Mopar stuff on. And as far as a Bass Turd or whatever you call it,if you have been around trucks much, you know that 90% of drivetrain parts swap between Mopar and GM Trucks. The steel bed and Hydraulics are really nice,and already mounted to this frame that's why Im using it. Im not afraid of a little fab work and basicly I have everything to build the truck except a 2003 or newer cab and clip if I choose to go that route. Thanks for the advice on the PTO, I will post pics this winter when I rip into things.

Shoot Chris, all you got to do is go to JerrDan over on I81 by you & they'll build it for you Why not graft a Dodge front section of frame to the rear Chevy one with the bed I've got a friend with one done like that

Id love to do a 12V Cummins with a NV4500, but I already have the 440 and 435 setup.

My dad has an 88 dodge rollback. 360 with a 4 speed... definitely would be better with a cummins and a 5 speed, but I've taken it on 6 hour trips each way. I can't say I ever saw another one... it will be for sale soon, we just don't use it anymore.
