Awesome! Looks like you could have used a 4-53T if you wanted to...

Sure could use some more pics. Is the truck complete now? Sounds like an interesting update on an old truck.

Raeme, your CCKW looks great. That's a big undertaking, pulling the cab, bed, driveline, repowering, etc.
I see you upgraded the brakes-what setup are you using?

Interesting project.
I know you can put an auto behind the original engine.

Can't wait to see this thing finished and moving under it's own power!
Should be good to go for ANOTHER 60+ years when completed.

Love that attitude, people told me a 6.2 would be underpowered in a GMC. So I am putting one in anyway. Hey, it makes more power than the 302 the truck was built with and I can walk into any auto store and get parts for it. I too am using an auto tranny, Th400 that was in the truck when I bought it. Nothing gets better than a diesel and a good auto tranny. Love your swap, excellent job with all the work.But Paul every body sead it could not be done, so I did it.

I'm still not sure what 'it' is.But Paul every body sead it could not be done, so I did it.

$60k for a repower, tranny and power steering?
Power steering kits might run $2k, a 4BT and NV4500 is $5k-ish. You are doing the labor (it seems) so no adt'l cost.
Even if you are using a crate motor and new tranny.. but where does $60k go and still not have a complete truck on the road?
I know many will take that as a slam, but its not... I just don't understand how the price remotely matches the parts.
