You know, just when I think to myself, "self, that last raggly piece of shit Red was looking at was the crappiest vehicle ever. There could never be a vehicle any more of a POS than that. " And then, wham, along comes another Red find, even worse than the last. Wonders never cease.

It's a pretty common swap. You get a good engine in a better body / drivetrain.

But you are at the mercy of who did the swap.

Spike TV's show: Trucks did an older Ford duelly body on a modern Dodge Cummins engine and chassis, the results were better than that though.

There are a lot of 12 valve Cummings engines around. The Dodge trucks fall apart around them.
