Very cool story and truck. I've actually been watching Trucks on Powerblock TV lately as they are putting a similar Cummins in a late 70s Ford Crew Cab. Different truck but same problems with the manifold and turbo fitment etc..

Anyhow I've been looking for a 3/4 or 1 Ton Longbed 4x4 to do the same with so great to learn from your notes. If you haven't made your mind up yet on wheels I saw a 72 longbed 3/4 ton 4x4 truck the other day with a set of factory OEM Hummer Wheels on it that looked pretty tough. I attached a picture of the style. the basically ran these with the factory 8 lug center caps from a late 80s style truck and it looked pretty nice. Like it was made to be that way.
