Cummins swap into 65 C10??
 

Have been looking through pages and pages and haven't located any info or pics of anyone who has done the swap
I feel sure several have installed the 5.9 into a 60 model truck and was looking for advice or feedback before I commit to it myself.. thanks guys

Currently buttoning up a 4 cylinder swap.

I believe the 6BT will require some serious firewall modification. There are a thread here somewhere where a member is installing a 6BT into his C30 panel.

That would be me ;) Here is a link to my thread. Unfortunately I'm out of work so project is on hold but it should give a small idea whats involved.

The 6bt is a tough fit. It does require a lot of firewall modification. Plus IMO the 6bt is too heavy for a stock C10. I feel that 1 ton (C30) suspension is almost a must for the 6bt.

However a 4bt should fit nicely and work well with a C10. From what I understand the 4bt does not need any firewall modification. Just my .02 cents worth.

Also here is a link to another thread asking the same question for his 62
