Re: 1969 C-50 4x4 build starting.

Yep keep us posted on the fitment there. I was in the same boat going with a Cummins and MD trans but the length of that 6bt was what concerned me. I was lucky enough to find a frame prepped to take a Duramax and Allison combo, along with a view of the minimal firewall work required to get them to fit, so I am going that route now.
Have you been able to determine if the front axle will fit? Do you see any issues with steering geometry or clocking the wheels left to right? I am wanted to convert to 4wd myself but wanted to make sure of my parts list beforehand.
