Someone mentioned a square body thread somewhere

[Locust Cutter]

That sounds amazingly more smooth than stock. A small turbo and that thing could get real interesting!!

Nice!!!! Their was one for sale local to me a few years back but with a lift and some *pretty boy wheels. Guy wanted $25,000. Also seen one half hacked together with a 24v with the Dodge dash in it. It was a spectacle lol.

I imagine the thought process was something like...”damn, a P-pump conversion is $3k, can’t swing that. But I can try to stuff this dodge gauge bezel in for free so I can run the VP44 with a tuner.”
Kudos if he got it working lol

So this pulls up to my shop today...

Have to admit. I wouldn’t mind having a square body Suburban with a 6.2/6.5

Not wrong imo. Square body with a 5.9 is the best truck that was never built.

Ive thought about a 4bt in a 2wd bagged burban would make a sweet highway cruiser.

6v53 would be a better choice!

Well yeah, but I'm think conservatively.

Yeah, a detroit might get the tinnitus going pretty good after a few hundred miles!

Could a 6V92 fit under the hood? Especially a turbo-supercharged 6V92...

 

[Locust Cutter]

A Cummins would be a lot easier, but the Detroit makes a neat sound, though you may need two trannys to make it work right. A 3408 Cat could also be decent...

I'm sure you could but a 6v53 looks pretty crammed in there.

A 350 Mack engine isn't much bigger than the 5.9 I have one in a dump truck that's tweaked a bit left a few modern trucks in a cloud of soot with it.

I picked up a fire pump this year with 20 hours on it powered by a 5.9 if I don't flip the complete unit for some good coin the engin will find a home in some GM I have. I have a 92 Dodge that's been tboned and a Ford that the PO started a cummins swap with a 98 12 valve so there will be a couple 5.9 straight body's built here

Love coating the windshield of *dipsticks that tailgate. The only time I’ll lug and smoke intentionally, never fails to get them off my ass. The last one I sprayed repellent at turned on their windshield wipers.
