Chance, welcome to the stovebolt. Going forward or bassackwards this is the best site for old Chevy and GMC trucks. I think you'll fit right in. Lots of info and great minds hang out here and feel free to contribute and jump in any time.
There have been more than one that has use the diesels in their modifications. The big bolt guys have done it and some 1/2 ton guys have stuffed a diesel in theirs.

Garage Forums are the best place to ask questions as there are lots more folks visit there first when checking in.

Good luck and some pics when you can would be great.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
