hey guys new to the site, just want to say hello. I curently do not have a diesel motor but hopefully with some of your help that will change.
I have a 1951 GMC cab over and want to convert it over to a Diesel so that I can use it as a tow rig for my toys. So if you have any ideas please let me know.......ie favorite motor/trans combo

thanks guys
glad to be on this site hope to learn something from all of ya

that IS AWESOME!!!

welcome to diesel bombers.

reasonable easy swaps? i'd suggest a cummins 4bt or 12V because they have no electronics, are very reliable and get decent fuel economy.

i would also suggest the older 6.9L and 7.3L international indirect-injection (IDI) diesel. they're also pretty reliable and and get decent economy. they're pretty cheap too because they're not all that popular.

Cool truck man. I would go with a 12v Cummins. Shouldn't be too hard of a job.
