if your all ready into the project you do what you do !
I'm entertaining thought of my own diesel project just not getting much Info other what i found out with a tape measure lots of leg work. . .
Why are 2.5Ton and bigger truck's so much easyer. . .
my 1959 Mack B61T was some easy to up date. . .
I had a turbo added to the old 711END high compression non turbo diesel, I swapped out the Mack 2 stick 15spd (Triplex) for my own version of the 2 stick 15spd (Mikeyplex) truck went from a 58mph dog to 72mph snorting beast. . .with out over sized tires. . .still running the stock 12.00-20's
