Ok you can shut up now before you make me jealous I've been looking around for a cc dually to do a Cummins swap in.

Mmmmm cummins swap, definitely on the bucket list

 

[frito-bandito]

Yessir!! Don't get me wrong, I don't have ANY parts accumilated for it yet but I can always dream

 

[Darkrider]

Heh...if it comes down to it the K1500 may eventually see a Cummins swap. But more then likely going to go to an Optimizer 6500 which is a Navistar made block version of the 6.5 Detroit.
