That is what I have done and enjoyed, (more when I was younger than now) and in that case I would recommend a 6bt for fullsize 4x4's and 3/4 ton and up 2x4's and a 4bt for light or smaller vehicles. The 6bt will be smoother and more versatile while the 4bt has more vibrations and needs the right combination of gears to stay in its limited power band to work well, that is easier in a lighter vehicle.

PS. what are you wanting to build?
