Now thats funny!
By the time you design or swap in a front suspension that can handle the weight of a 6cyl cummins, make room for a tougher trans, drive line and then come up w/a steering system that would make it remotely user friendly on the street w/o serious understeer in corners, then swap out the puny MB rear axle/suspension to handle the cummins torque...you'll see the used cummins motor was the cheap part. You'd be bucks ahead and have a safer to drive rig if you just bought a Dodge truck w/cummins and have the frame/drive line sectioned/shortened and drop a 123 body on it.
