I put a 6bt in my 79 1/2 ton. I would reccomend a 6bt over a 4bt in a one ton especially if you are doing any pulling... but check out www.4btswaps.com (http://www.4btswaps.com) they have lots of good info

Ur looking for a 6BT, not a 4BT CUMMINS <----spelled like this  :P

(6BT is 6cyl, 4 is 4cyl)

There is on Fleabay a guy selling Cummins to Chevy motor mount brackets. After that all u need is the adapter plate for the tranny from a Chevy P30 bread van that comes equiped with a Cummins 4BT TH400. IF you intend on running a TH400 or 4L80E. Its pretty easy, just can get alittle close to the firewall.
