engine is from a 91 Dodge, nv4500 from a 96 dodge. custom motor mounts, trans crossmember, trans hump, shortened driveshaft. Hydroboost is factory..it was originally a 350 diesel. 12 bolt 3.73 rear, stock rad with electric fan in front.

Its alot of torque for a 1/2 ton 2wd lol traction is definitely an issue.

had any frame cracks ???

79GMC_OLDS · 10-03-2008, 02:26 PM

not so far.. if i was to build another one or if i was to pull anything i wouldn't of used a 1/2 ton for the swap. 3/4 or 1 ton is definitely the way to go if you want to use it as a truck. I wanted to keep it somewhat original with the sierra 15 diesel badging. but its alot of fun to drive, extremely reliable and great on fuel. I have approx. 20k km on it so far with no problems except i will be upgrading to 1-ton springs and shocks.

68GMC454 · 10-03-2008, 02:38 PM

id love to find a truck with a 6 in it.. seems like out here in utah all i fins is trucks with small blocks in them.. even the one tons got 350's in them.. but if you ask around abotu a one with a 6, nobody seems to know what your talking about...

Im running a 250 inline still...... Runs like a champ !! I do have a broken manifold bolt

( nothing a big C-clamp cant fix )

Mr79C10 · 10-05-2008, 05:54 AM

My 6 Bngr. Nothing to special its the integrated head.

hessian nice truck,, A/c, P/B, A/T,
question on your truck, where dose the vacuum connect to the manifold for your power brakes? Thats something that Im adding to mine

Shamil · 10-05-2008, 11:34 AM

min 292

2bits · 10-06-2008, 01:48 PM

Sorry if some of the pics are too big, I just linked them from my personal site.

My '79 that had a 250 (Sold

)

I wish I still had it sometimes! Especially when I see trucks like S10 fans! Wow what a nice ride there.

Here is my current ride with a 250 inline 6. It's a '71 in the front, but it IS a Square body '79 Stepside bed in the back. I prefer the 73-87 Stepsides to any other model and I love the 73-79 fronts too, as you can tell by my last truck, and I have owned five of them!

Pulling my Teardrop Trailer under construction:

AC, Power steering, Full fan shroud.

Just picked up an Offenhauser 4bbl intake for it last week! (The engine came with it

)

and finally, yes, I guess you could call me an Inliner!

COMP · 10-06-2008, 02:23 PM

ya i'd say you are

bucket · 10-08-2008, 12:12 AM

292 in my 70 1 ton

bucket · 10-08-2008, 12:17 AM

a 261 in my dump truck

2bits · 10-08-2008, 09:14 PM

Hmm 292 in a 1 Ton, 261 in a dump truck? Sounds like these "little" six bangers don't get enough love in the world with all the work horsin they do!

79GMC_OLDS · 10-08-2008, 10:40 PM

78ChevySilverado · 10-10-2008, 02:55 PM
