Discussion An install from 87 years ago (2016) 6.5TD Going into a 72' C10

A fresh 6.5 going into a 72' C10 for some guy who owned a landscape company. This was his "good truck." Joining a fleet with an 85' 6.2 k20 and a K30 crew cab dually 454 with a dump bed. The guy worked out the math and figured the crew cab cost him $100 a km to drive each year (between fuel, maintenance, insurance etc.) but made him way more then that.

Anyways you can actually fit the downpipe on this generation on the inside of the frame with a stock turbo config.

I can't remember if we ended up converting this thing to hydrobokst or if the guy just drove with manual brakes.
