8.3 Cummins in a "pickup"
#21
sounds like a cool project,bigger is always better-lil trucks are for chics-
with you motor and trans already hooked up makes the job simpler,i made a template of my motor / trans from corrugated plastic,it made seeing how much firewall to trim,axle clearance,trans controls etc way easier-big mopar fan,so i would go dodge cab all day.
gluck with your build.

sounds like an awsome project man, I think your safe with whichever cab you like better if you are building a custom frame, an easier route would be a one ton, box the frame and recess the firewall if needed, that should hold up, it's really not that much heavier of an engine, for a rearend, i'd opt for a GM 14 bolt full floater, they are extremely strong, plentiful and cheap. good luck
