cummins in a chevy
I picked up this truck at the local u pull it salvage for a few dollars. It actually ran great even with 220k miles on it and the title says it was owned by an oil field company which is why the trucks interior is covered in tar/oil/sand/dirt as is the entire under carriage of the truck. But, it was cheap.
