Hi all, was surfing around and found this fantastic site. I recently purchase a 1965 Chev Surburban. 283, 4 speed, 2 wheel drive. Plan on doing a re-make on it. I have ordered the sheet metal required and lined up a bodyman. Looking to upgrade front end etc. 283 runs awesome but am looking at maybe changing. Was looking at a 6.5 diesel conversion to be different but heard from someone who tried and the exhaust interferes with the frame. This person suggested a 5.9 cummins swap. I call my unit the Rotti-rod as I bought it to haul my dogs around.

Happy New Year and the best to you all

Pat.
