Re: 78 crew cab + 06 ccsb 4x4 duramax/allison combo = which route to go?
Nekkidhillbilly pretty much nailed it all. It can be done and has been done. It's really just how much you want to invest n the truck. If I had a Dmax and the time, I'd do it. The wiring harness can be built for very reasonable these days. I'd probably go with the K30 frame and the 79 Ford D60. I'm not big on the newer frames under old bodies. It just looks out of place IMO. And if you did decide to use a 94-02 dodge D60, forget about going with lock outs. What for? Peace of mind that the front end isn't spinning? I know guys that have done the swap on CTD trucks and didn't notice .5/mpg gains. Not worth it IMO. But if that's something you have to have, then go for it. Nice other builds too by the way.
