so heres the situation, i am posting for my dad. YES I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS FOR 2 HOURS!!
he bought a 1956 6x6 5 ton 2 weeks ago and needs some info on what to start with. there seems to be a lack of knowledge on the net about these monsters. what i am kind of looking for is a buildup and a **** ton of photos from someone building these.
there are 2 options..
1. he has a 4x4 Cummings 1991 5 speed as a donor. he could stick the 6bt/getrag/np205 into the 6x6 and eliminate one of the rear rock-wells. which i would personally go for.
2. he would use the stock 5 speed and T case from the truck but theres a problem. we have no idea what their called, the gear ratios, anything about these only that the t case is divorced. he wants to swap the cummins anyways regardless.
any info on the tranny and t case, swap forums, build forums from something ive described would be greatly apreciated as well as any feedback on any ideas on what of the two options to use. thanks !
the m52 is of the tractor type.. knowing the t case and tranny type would be awesome in the start.
any infor on 6BT swapts and available adapter plates or drawings for adapters plates? my buddy has a CNC plasma cutter that can be used..
thanks guys !!!
