2 from one, 81 pickup diesel 1 with aftermarket turbo

Hello folks.
I have 2 diesel caddy's, both have 5 spd trannys and were NA from factory, I rebuilt one motor stock, then found a aftermarket turbo on Craigslist (oh joy) and installed it, it works great! But the body and electrical are not so good
and the steering and front suspension parts are all about to fall apart, soooo, I found another! yippeeee ! Don't know about the engine, but has been robbed from, the interior is about gone, the body is fairly good on the outside, but one small,(think big) problem, some previous owner had a bright idea to make an extracab out of it, and cut the back of the cab out of it and slid it back in the fiberglass canopy, and fixed it in place with "greatstuff" foam in a can so the plan is to take the second truck apart and weld cab back together, and paint it, and put the best of both back in it we will see how that turns out, I have a Chevy 6.2 liter diesel project I am working on at the moment, must finish it first !
