What do l think? weighs right around 4800 lbs with the 350 in it. Im thinkin 6bt, and some 1 ton rear ends. SHould rock and roll with a 600 horse cummins in it.

weight has to be similar to a ramcharger... love that front end
 
That is one of the best body styles chevy ever made.That will be a awesome truck when you finish it.
 
Finally got the bodywork and paint done and it turned out nice! i love this color. Now time to think about the enigne

Im thinking 12v, with around 500 to the wheels through a 47rh. Im gonna switch the front end to a ford d60 with the driver side diff and use the whole dodge drive train including a d80 rear. Im gonna try and go 12.5 with it and still be decent on mpgs. I think the lightweight of it will do me good. right now with the sbc/ms465 and ther 24c tcase it weighs 4850. so i figure ill probly go 5800 or so.
 
Thank you guys i got the top off to replace some weather stripping and so i took the chance to snap some pics. I like it a lot with out the top on and that thing has to weigh at least 200 pounds mabey more, so ill be shre to take that off when i go drag racing!

Very cool project, sounds like a really familiar build ...... Except for a few minor differences . There's a few of us over a CK5 who have done or are in the process of 12valve swaps.
 
Yep im over there a little bit latley good site over there. Just not a lot of info about diesel conversions other than a few 6.5 conv. I was originaly thinking of doing the nv4500 behind the 12v then i decided i wanted to race it so there goes that notion.... I think a good 12 or 13 second k5 is just what i need to break up the boardum...
