Re: 6.5TD in a 72 Cheyenne?
Shouldn't be to hard at all.
Motor mounts, you may need a bigger radiator, other then that, should just be wiring, throttle cable. Little things like that. 4L80's are what they put behind those anyway.  96 Silverado ECSB, 350, 4L60E, 3.42 G80 89 Camaro, 5 speed, 3.08 LS 49 F-1, flathead 6, 4 speed, 2wd, unknown rear end. Old rust bucket. |

Re: 6.5TD in a 72 Cheyenne?
That would be a pretty easy swap. Just make sure you got a torque converter for the diesel engine. Other then that it should be simple. Take your time.

Re: 6.5TD in a 72 Cheyenne?
might also need to switch out gas tanks unless your current tank is emptied and cleaned
 possibly a different fuel filter as well. Otherwise, what's been said is pretty good advice as well.
