Buy the truck, use it as is all winter then get into it. Small lift, build Cummins. straight pipe it, make the body nice, simple and durable.

Re: Diesel Questions

I would just find a second gen p pump, cause i think you would have to change up the front timing case on the first gen for the p pump to work.

Re: Diesel Questions

I do believe the injector holes are different between the two, but 12 valve p pump heads are everywhere, i mean a brand new one from cummins is about 850, so im sure some remans are cheaper.

Re: Diesel Questions

Craigslist is funny if you look for something you can't find it,But you give up and look for something else the first thing you wanted shows up.And i know this is a chevy site but a 80-96 f250 or f350 a cummins swap is easy on also.
