WANTED Looking for Cummins 4BT or 12V 6BT

[patrick66]

OK, kids, I have my '69 Dodge D300 cab and chassis, finally. I'm thinking the original 318 and 4-speed aren't gonna really do what I want the truck to do, and that is haul a 24' to 28' Avion or Airstream travel trailer with relative speed and reliability. So, I'm searching for a Cummins 4BT from a bread van or such, or a 12V 6BT from a Dodge PU...preferably with a NV3500 or 4500 transmission to go along with. I'd prefer something within 250 miles of OKC, OK, but will consider others if within a day's drive (600 miles or so) of central Oklahoma.

Have you searched for a Dodge truck with what you want? It may be easier to buy a complete truck and use what you want for the swap then part out or scrap the rest.

 

[patrick66]

Yes, but the trucks tend to be absolute junk.

Who cares? You're wanting an engine and trans donor, right? So if rest of truck is crap you're not buying for that anyway
