Allright check it out.  I have an 80 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 shortbed.  Ive had it for eight years and it was my first truck that I bought when I was 16.
 Anyways my plan is to remove the body box in the frame, throw some 3/4 or 1 ton axles and leafs, lift it about 8 to 10 inches, and as you may have guessed put a cummins between the fenders.  Im going to try and do all this for as cheap as possible.  
 Well im going to need a little help from you guys.  
 What am I going to have to do to get a 12Valve put out around 500-600 hp, have the tranny survive(looking for a manuel), have the transfer case survive, and have the axles survive?
 What size fuel lines am I going to need?  What are the best axles to look for? Will a np 205 tansfer case hold up?  What kind of wireing changes will need to be made?
   And if anybody out there needs a rebuilt Chevy 350, and brand new rebuilt turbo 350 trans let me know, maybe we could make a deal.
  Thanks for any help to these questions
