Not to mention how it will simplify the whole project.
On the whole keep it all GM thing...While I'm a diehard dyed in wool GM man,and even a long time GM diesel diehard,I feel that stuff does not apply when it comes to trucks. First of all,Dodge doesn't make a Diesel and neither does Ford. Only GM makes their own and the other two have used GM diesels in their trucks. Real trucks are built from components with drivetrains spec'd out how the customer sees fit.
I agree, and you could get a Cummins in your GM truck brand new back in the 80s. Put whatever will work best in there.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.
