I was on the classic truck page looking around and had seen that the truck was larger than what you first thought, so I will give you another sugestion, around here back when that truck was new there was a company that ran a fleet of them on the road, they had 903 Cummins, and 8v71Ta engines in theirs, they ran pretty good for that time era. If you do decide to repower it, I would go with an 8v92Ta Detroit engine, go ahead and put a 10 speed, or 13 speed tranny in it, which ever one that you go with, make sure that it is the overdrive tranny though, will help you on fuel economy, I figure the ole Dodge has a low speed ratio gears in the rear ends, that is why for the OD tranny.
