Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroked162, post: 115408, member: 120"] Standard 1/2 ton components are not going to take the weight of a diesel powerplant. The Cummins 6BTA5.9 has a dry weight of 905lbs. Im gonna go out on a limb and say that at most, the 5300 vortec engine in that '99 weighted at 650lbs, Now, you are a smart kid and Im sure you can see where im going with this.... Well from '99 up I know for a fact that there are no leaf springs on the trucks except for the rear suspension. Now I cant speak of the 3/4 and 1ton chevy trucks pre-'99 era but I know that the '88 and up chevy 1/2tons came with IFS torsion bar front ends. Regardless, the point is, the truck would need some 3/4ton suspension off its bigger brother and possibly some additional crossmembers, etc., and thats IF the frame will take the engine... [/QUOTE]
