I was wondering when someone was going to mention this project. I watch the show every sunday and was a bit excited that they are finally working on a squarebody, but I think is way to much of a engine for a 1/2 ton truck. Would have been better swap in a 1 ton crew dually

i think its cool but i would have boxed the entire frame, i betcha its gonna crack. screw the crumple points, in these trucks ur screwd any ways

ive heard of people putting cummins in them some i think reason they didnt do the dullay means they did a ford one twice before i think

atleast up under the motor help brace/support that weight

also i think the burban/blazer gas tanks ran out bedside or tag be 100X IMO. they got 19 when could got 32

A cummins swap is easier they make swap parts,And the 12 valve is mechanical injection so no efi wiring and ecu to mess with.The ford dually they built was a dodge cummins truck with a ford body shoved over it pretty much.
