It's definitely a 1500 series truck, or should I say that's what it started as...lol...
The reason it was built on a 1500 platform was because it started as a bet. A friend that owns a salvage yard bet the owner couldn't get the truck running and tagged for the street in 1 year, if he did get it done he didn't have to pay the $5000 for the motor and trans. We had an 88 Chevy 1500 in my storage lot, so that's what it started as before he started building it.

Thanks everyone!!!
BMiller, the truck has a Dodge 47RE automatic, it's the stock trans that comes in the Dodge's...

Thanks for the compliments guys...
Anybody that thinks Cummins motors suck are more than welcome to hook up to it??? We're in Wilmington Delaware 19808, and we are always ready for a good tug-o-war!!!

The truck was built before Chevy was even using the Duramax...

It's a 47RE built by Del-Trans in Newark Delaware, stock rebuild, but it's been holding up to that for a while... The torque converter is a ProTorque, they are really great converters, I've got one in my Dodge now too... The HX50 is a weird one, the exhaust housing is huge so the turbo takes forever to spool...

As far as conversion help, I really don't know what to tell you... This was a one off truck that was built a long time ago, but I know now they make kits so everything bolts right up... I'll tell you what, now's a great time to buy trucks, I'd just buy a Cummins Dodge and call it a day...lol...
