Double check with Summit to make sure you have the correct parts for your application. The set up I used is a 2.5" spindle drop for a 1963 C10 with 6 lug wheels. The have sets for 5 lug and simple conversion for stock spindles that are more cost efficient and easier to install.

Modern Greaser is a show that takes you along on trying to piece together the adventure of working on cars 50+ years old. Modern vehicles are also welcome, thus Modern Greaser. Who doesn't love shows like Road Kill? Or Roadkill garage? Who doesn't love hacks? That is EXACTLY what Modern Greaser is. Not good. At. Anything. At least the latter shows are full of knowledge. Ole MG is NOT. At least you get to see a classic truck with a diesel engine in it.
The 1963 C10 in this video is a 12 valve Cummins turbo diesel fitted with an Allison AT542. Having this power plant means lots of things for this classic Chevy truck. One thing, the C10 gets great fuel economy. By great, maybe 18-20 mpg. It also shakes the fillings right out of your teeth and that's a good thing. The engine and transmission combo has added a hefty 1,500+lbs to the weight of the vehicle. Heavy duty custom springs have been added to support the weight and the 6 lug spindles have been maintained vs a 5 lug swap. It would truly be better if this truck had an 8 lug set up.
I bought this truck fully converted for a super cheap price. It is always best to buy someone else's project that they lost money on for you. Doesn't mean I couldn't do a conversion like this myself. The truck needs ONE power wire to make it run. That's it. That's why you see so many cummins swapped hot rods and rat rods. It's not that big of a deal. I am really hoping to swap a 4bt into something if one turns up for a good price. Maybe a powerstroke from a Ford or a Duramax? JK I am not smart enough to convert either one of those. The 6bt is just very unruly and unnecessarily heavy. Stay tuned to the channel as I am going through this truck little by little. There are videos on the suspension, brake conversion, (which a diesel is different since they do not make vacuum). The truck just received a new rear differential and has a new universal wiring harness in the mail. An intercooler was just added and more go fast parts and cool parts like some Coker white walls are on the to do list. Now time to find the scratch... Stay tuned to Modern Greaser and hit the subscribe button so you don't miss any of the latest antics and added content on fixing up this old derelict diesel.
This truck is also seen doing lots of burn outs and things you shouldn't do with the hater pipe sticking out of the hood. It's easy to get bored and playing with cars is the best thing you can do with your time!
