I haven't got the truck home yet. I am a creature of opportunity. I have several engine choices to look at here at the home front. One being the 5.9/5spd in my Dodge. Ever hear of a Hercules 4cyl. diesel? It's sitting in a airforce gen set I have. Then there's the 6.5/Allison?? that came with the P-30 Need to get busy with a measuring tape. Thanks for your tech article. I don't always like reinventing the wheel. I was able to find the correct pieces (axles, brakes, plus some neat add ons) by following your guidelines.
