Currently in the process of installing a Mercedes 5 cly turbo diesel.

Build story

This project started as a customer request. She bought this truck from my dad and I and asked if we could diesel swap it. To keep the project cost effective we went with the old reliable Mercedes 5 cly. The lady also wanted us to manual swap the truck. When things changed and she backed out of the project me and my dad ended up with this half way done truck. Now we have installed the C6 back into the truck and are finishing the install with an automatic.
