Re: my 1970 C30 HD project

I'll be watching this project. I'm a fool for the Jimmy 2-stroke screamers and want something powered by one before my time passes. I hope you can find a complete 3500HD chassis to donate cuz that's one hella frame. You'll have medium duty strength throughout in a compact package. 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.
