Re: 83 4x4 diesel drivetrain onto a 68 4x4 frame
There is a gear reduction starter for the 6.2/6.5 diesel. From what I've read, it is called the 28MT...not sure how well it would work with one battery. I have one on my 85 Burb, and it works great. I just need to buy the correct brace that goes between the motor and the block. Also, FYI, there are different starters for diesels with automatics and diesels with a manual transmission. I found out the hard way that a starter for an automatic diesel cannot be used on one with a manual tranny. The biggest difference is in the pinion gear on the starter, the gear does not retract far enough.
