What's neat and why you see it alot is the Cummins 4BT and 6BTdiesels have been used by Dodge, GM and Ford in various chassis over the years (a long time) and the key item is the adaptor plate....this isn't an after market item, but a necessary piece to make the engines compatible for all the different manufacturers.....bread trucks were/are great places to find these engine/trans combos and since Ford and GM both built them the chassis would usually have the 4BT and either one of the matching trannys with the appropriate adaptor plate (the 4BT and 6BT generally use the same adaptor.....if you go on EBAY and do some general searches on 4BT, 6BT in parts there usually is some things there to let you see what these are......
