There's a good reason that many people swap the 5.9 Cummins into the GMT 400 chassis (88-98 chevy, and GMC). That's a fairly popular swap if you look on the net.
I have 2 GMT 400 trucks that have the 6.5 TD, and one with the 454 gas, which I really don't like. I know the 6.5 isn't near the power of a 5.9 Cummins, but they suit me fine. I can see after owning the 454 truck why many people opted for the 6.5, the mileage sucks. About 8 miles per gallon with gas, compared to 15 with the 6.5.
