I wish I had the money to do it, right now my doctors get most of my money. I can't get health insurance and I am not disabled enough! LOL
The starters I see on are one E-bay and the diesel page. They were talking that using one of those style starters made it so you don't have to run 2 batteries. I am a few months away from worring about that. I am going to finish stripping the 83 and start actually bolting everything on to the 68 frame. I welded a home fabbed crossmember but will cut it out and use the 73-up but so far as i can tell just about everything I need for the diesel will swap from the 83 onto the 68. still will have to figure out about the a/c box under the hood. I have a complete 68 burb a/c system but was saving that for another project. The 72 body i am going to put on has dual air so the a/c box will hit.
