Hello, I joined up to learn more as I am looking into repowering my newest purchase to diesel power.

It is a '63 IH c1500, currently a gas bg241, 4sp, 2sp rear, hydraulic hoist flatbed, etc.



I am planning a cab off resto to fix that pesky IHC floor rust that they seemed to have added as a free option. In the process, I am lusting after an old Detroit(6-71T to be specific) for this truck, if it will fit inside naturally. The truck is a medium duty, so I don't think the heavy detroit will be much of a problem.

Anyways, I hope to be able to find some guys here who know a thing or two about them, troubleshooting, what to look for, etc.
