Re: '51 Build w/4bt Cummins

Kirsch, I didn't realize that you had already done what I'm currently attempting to do. Now that yours is running and driving, any pointers or stuff that you wish you would have done different? One of the issues i recently had/have is that the motor needs to sit pretty high in the engine bay in order for the starter to clear. With everything level, this doesn't allow for much in the way rear suspension travel as the driveline would hit one of the cross members underneath the cab if the rear end traveled more than 5 or 6". I dont think this will be an issue since i wont ever tow with the truck and may get more clearance with a smaller diameter driveshaft but figure you ran into the same problem.
