Diesel engs. engine for a' 49 Chev. 1/2 ton?

What's the budget? That'll be a big determining factor. The cheap way to go would be to buy a rusty old turbodiesel Benz and recycle the running gear. Personally, I'd be more inclined to go with Chevy parts for a 5 spd transmission back to the wheels and hook it up to a Benz TD engine with an adapter - that would make for a very driveable setup. A 6.2/6.5 would be ok, but with that old of a truck I wouldn't try to make a tow-beast out of it. The Cummins 4BT would be great, but it's not the cheapest approach to take - if the budget can handle it, great.
