Good fit. I like that.

I will be around on next Thursday after (your) work. I'll pick up some of the unneeded junk laying around. I should of done that when I got the back glass.

Old trucks in KS. This is the center of old coot farm country. Used trucks are "rode hard and put up wet." Expect untold miles on the engine, lots of rust and bailing wire. Right now 4BT and 6BT manual engines are at a premium and a lot of guys buy them for the motor alone. Lots of swaps of Cummins into about everything you can imagine. If you intend a swap, don't discount a stand alone engine or piecing one together. But, it would be another project.

I originally intended to put the '02 Cummins in the '66 but then the LS would have no home. It would also take a huge amount of fabrication and I chickened out.

I am still looking out for something and will let you know if I find something.

Dave.
