And I think the next diesel conversion I do will be a 60 body on a 1-ton Powersmoke chassis. I like my 1-ton, but I'd like it a lot better if it had a wagon body.

Thanks to everyone that has posted info here. That Isuzu site has given me some new ideas . What about this idea....
Take a 617 with it's slushbox tranny out of a good donor. toss the tranny, Keep the flex plate since it seems to be balanced to the crank (someone correct me if this is incorrect - as it may be). Machine an adapter like the one used on the Isuzu site to bolt a Toyota flywheel to the flexplate . Also machine an adapter ring to mate the Toyota bell housing to the back of the 617. The thickness of the adaptor ring and the flywheel/flexplate adaptor will have to be worked out to get the input shaft/H55f to the correct location. With that all worked out it should be a piece of cake to mount the H55f using all Toyota clutch parts.
Any suggestions or comments welcome...
Now to find the perfect donor ... Seen quite a few on Ebay lately.

LOL ChuckB - I just might do that. It won;t be until next summer at the earliest. The wife wants me to build her an FJ40 - something I've wanted to do for a while - and It'll get this setup if I can make it work. Waiting to see how the guys in Wyoming fit a 40 with a 617. Then I'll do it to my FJ60 and convert for veggie oil.
7.2L Powerstroke in a 60.
I just found an adapter for the mb diesel motor to the toyota h55, h41 transmission. http://www.4x4labs.com/diesel.html has any one used it, or does any one know anything about it?
