    Is this a 2 wheel drive truck or 4x4? Are you planning to swap in the Dodge tranny as well?

    To do the conversion, you'll need mounts and a crossmember. You can either make this yourself (if you're a good welder) or buy them already made such as from the following site.

    The Cummins 6BT is a little tall to fit under the hood and clear the transfer case. The easiest way to get more room is a body lift or a hood scoop. If you want to leave the truck stock height, some grinding on the transfer case is needed to gain clearance.

    If you use the transmission that's in the 2000 Chevy, you'll need an adapter and a controller to get it to shift. The 5 speed from the 93 Chevy is probably a NV4500 and will also require an adapter. A well known source for transmission adapters is www.advanceadapters.com

    I can't help you much on the wiring. If it were me, I would probably get rid of all the electronics on that Cummins by installing a P7100 pump on it.

    If you decide to use the NV4500 check with drivetrain.com in Las Vegas. They now the transmission and can probably supply any adaptors or conversion parts needed.

    Here's another source for parts for the conversion.

    If you do go with a manual, you'll need to make a clutch pedal support and bracket.

    If you live in an area that requires diesel emissions certification - either periodic or when registering the vehicle, you will need to maintain the emissions control systems for that model year. Most states don't really care, but there are a few that require anal exams when repowering with a non-stock engine. Might be worth a check if you're not sure.
