I'm Cummins swapping a '74 Duster, thought I'd share the progress.

Have you considered going full Redneck and just putting the body on a Trail duster frame

I have not, I have considered using a crown vic or an 83+ S10 regular cab frame though

You know, if you are hellbent on seeing this through, putting a duster body on the frame of a diesel vehicle would be the safer way to do it

This isn't a bad idea, AND it would be a hell of a lot less work, find a diesal 94ish reg cab Ram truck preferably 2wdr, shorten the frame as needed and everything power train wise bolts right up, fit the body and voila! You have essentially what you want for a reasonable investment. Worth a think

Worth a think

Would still be full redneck. lol
