So here is my latest update, I made an offer on a 1993 dodge 4wd with a cummins and AT which he accepted. Its 4k and he is 90 miles away. I don't really want the project of installing the cummins right now but at the same time it makes sense to do it now instead of doing the big block 4wd engine, trans and driveshafts and then having to do it again with the cummins conversion.
I'm really up in the air about buying it but it does make sense, here is my cost breakdown.

Dana 60 front axle $1200, I would love to just buy the axle for $1200, haven't seen any available lately so I am buying the dodge for at least the dana 60, that leaves me with a
Cummins engine and Overdrive trans with NP 205 for $2800
I guess that's real cheap, the truck has 154k miles on it and the trans was recently rebuilt, no brainer right?
