Well, it's been a bit over a year since my last update. The engine is in the truck now and I'm driving it pretty much daily. I made my own adapters and hooked it up to the original 4 speed with the 3 speed Brownie. The little diesel has gobs more torque than the gas engine that was in there. Top speed is an issue right now, I'm only good for around 40 mph. I have a friend that has a P-30 van rear axle, that would most likely have the rear gear I need.

The engine fits into the bay like it was made for the truck.

I found some 19.5 tubeless tires and wheels, and made a temporary flatbed from barn wood until I find a good bed for it.
