Detroit Diesel 3-53 and 4-53 have been installed in this style truck. Cummings 4BT will probably fit as well or better.

Research Grigg Mullen's 48 2-Ton Diesel project on this site. Different era truck I know, but he's sorta our resident diesel expert. http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/mullen_grigg_1948.html

Also search youtube for diesel pickup videos and you'll probably see a 60-66 Chevy with a diesel. Could be a lead for more info.


Good luck.
