Hey Mighty 6 I'd love to see pics of that dually....! I just bought a 1951 3600 and am trying to decide how to do it. So far the dually type wheels are what I'm planning to use. I've considered finding a 6.5 TD dually chassis and using it but I understand that is a difficult project. I own a 1995 K2500 6.5TD that is all souped up. It's great but I think with any diesel engine it will be hard to control NVH in these older trucks. At this point I am going to pursue a 292 or 302 inline 6 possibly turbo-charged with electronic engine management if the hardware is available. Part of my thinking is that I'd like to use the original straight front axle and convert to disc brakes. I have concerns about getting the steering to work well with a V8. Besides a 6 would be smooooth!
Thanks for all the replys.
