NOW that I know you are using a NV3500 out of a 1500, you can ignore all the info I gave you.

I would strongly recommend looking for an actual diesel power rated transmission to install in your truck.

If the transmission is out of a V-8 gasser, it is a lighter duty NV-4500 and will be a weak link.

IF you still want to go ahead with the swap , you will need an cummins splined input shaft and a diesel bell housing for the transmission.

The output shaft depending on what it came out of and year, may have a 23 spline output that will mount up to your lighter duty auto T-case.
The manual diesels come with a 29 spline T-case, so if you re-use your old auto T-case, that will be a weak link too.

Then you will obviously need pedals, shifters, boots, clutch hydros, a flywheel and a clutch.

Where are you located?
