1971 Chevy K-20 Cummins Project.
Hello all,
I have a 1971 Chevy K-20 that I will be re-powering with a 1993 Cummins 6bt. Another mod I will making will be, making it a crew-cab. Trucks in possesion for parts for this build are a 1971 Chevy K-20, 1972 Chevy Suburban, 1993 W-250 Ex-Cab Dodge Cummins, and a 1968 GMC C-20. Any wisdom before I start on this adventure. The first thing I need to figure out is the trans, I have an Auto, and want to go Manual any suggestions. Thanks for your input.

If you're wanting a manual, I'd be looking for an NV-4500. It's a 5-speed with a nice low 1st gear and over-drive 5th gear. They came standard on 1992 to 2004 Cummins Rams so it should bolt right up. For more info, look here: NV4500 Transmission Info, Conversions, Reviews
P.S. Sounds like a KILLER project!
