Congrats !!!
full on 6bt, 1st gen, VE pump, w/a 47RE OD trans, all the wiring, Banks intercooler, etc. Still need to pick up a 205 for it, since the sweet 241HD is the wrong side drop (so no sweet 2.72:1). Bummer!
Hopefully I can get it to fit without any trouble.

What do you have for a front axle right now? Why not just pickup a 78-79 Ford high pinion D60 (78-79 Ford D44 if you have to get by for a while will work too) for the front and keep all the good parts your getting with the Cummins?tacoma said:
Because a Ford 60 is like, 8 trillion dollars in UT (or like, $2500 LOL ), whereas the 205 is $300.
Since last post I have decided to go with a new input gear for a Chevy 241 and make an adapter. The 241HD was a plow upgrade for the 3/4t Cummins trucks, which is what the trans/Tcase ended up being out of. We both thought it was out of a one ton, but I counted splines.... 23.
but that's ok, it's not going to use the 4wd much anyway, mostly a tow rig/hauler... that might get stuck in mud or something and need more wheels pulling LOL
if it wasn't so much more money, hell yeah, I'd get a Furd 60. But it is, so I get a new input gear instead. LOL

The truck didn't neccessarely need to be a plow truck, at least on models a few years newer than what your VE 6bt came out of, 3/4t came with both cases.
You say it's coming with a 47RE...did that come out of a later truck? That engine should have a 518 behind it, far as I know, which is nearly the same trans without some upgrades and is full mechanical.

Are your motor and trans from the same truck? If you have a 47RE from a 96 Cummins then you should have a P7100 pump cummins not a VE pump. The P7100 is all mechanical and is the best pump they had sofar.
