New guy
Hello:
I'm the new kid on the block. I build streetrod chassis for a living. I picked up a 1941 Ford
1-1/2 ton a couple of months back and a 6BD1-T Isuzu. I had a Turbo-400 built for the engine with a Gear Vendors underdrive mated to it. I'm in the process of building a new chassis for the truck, it will have a Chev 1-ton independent front and a Ford Dana 70 in the rear. I'm also running 19.5 wheels on both ends, with truck type tires, yet to be determined. I look forward to being here and learning something new.
Thanks, Randy

That ISUZU 6 is not a bad Idea what year is the powerplant? I am thinking mid to late 80s early 90s 120hp/2800rpm 462ftlbs/1800rpm what did it come out of? most I know came from motor homes. Do you have pics? thanks for joining.

WOW! Are you going to keep the same rear gearing for the economy? or are you going for the power. You have a unique combination there. any modifications to the power-plant. for being 5.7l You think there might be a possibility of using some 5.9l parts?

Might not be a good Idea. Some machining would be required. Might want to look into using a P-pump if possible? Thats a long shot tho.
