need to decide on engine
Well i recently picked up a 1986 GMC crew cab, 4x4 dually. It's as loaded as they came in the year, along with a manual transmission (i wouldn't have bought an auto). And considering it's an Alberta truck, it's also in fairly good shape.
Problem is that it's running with a 454 which was converted to propane in the early 90's. Not very powerful, not very efficient and fuel isn't exactly everywhere.
I'm curious if a Duramax would fit nicely into one of these trucks...? With an NV4500 it would bolt up to the NP205 t-case and still give me overdrive and handle the power.
But my biggest concern is how easily the engine will fit? I'm assuming that since a big block fits like nothing, so would a Duramax......but I could be wrong.
2011 VW Jetta TDI, pretty well loaded without leather.
2006 GMC Sierra D-max, 4x4, 4 door, bumper, winch, Espar heater, and the HID lights are a nice touch too.....
1986 GMC 3500, 454 on propane, 4 speed, 4x4, crew cab dually......the welding truck
1984 Toyota 4x4 pickup, 4.3 V6, 700R4, Toyota t-case.......transforming into 4x4 cage buggy
