Ironical a Dodge with a Ford Diesel motor.

I use to have a 55 Dodge pickup.

Yip, the Cummins probably will not fit. To long.

I would say he probably had a ford rolling chassis and used that.

There was a guy I seen at a restaurant that had a old Studebaker truck he put on a Dodge 3500 chassis with a Cummins Diesel. He did pull a 5th wheel with it. The truck had a very small cab by today's standards but did look very cool.

I agree with the reliability of the 7.3, although anemic by today's standards.

You would still get more looks and interest in the old truck then any new truck you bought.
