70-Sorry I was talking about 70rsss in regards to the cummins truck he bought.

Toomanytoys-thanks for he info-that is a cool ride. Love to hear more about your conversion and if you have started. I am interested in doing a cummins or duramax conversion. I would like to have the duramax but am worried about the electronics. Did you look at the wheelbase of the single cabs made from 2000-2007? I haven't looked for it yet but thought they might be pretty close to our 127". I looked at the new bodied single cabs and they are 133" and just based on eyeballing some pics of a truck without a bed it looks like the rearend could be moved fairly easily thought I have no idea about the frame width or how it would mount to a 67-72 body.
Thanks,
Bryan
