if you prefer the body and interior of the burb over the dodge you could transplant the frame and drive train under the burb. i've seen it done with a 12V CTD Dually.

This was my first reaction as well!!!

BUT, you are in the situation and you should know what is best for you right now. Best of luck to you, hopefully you can get yourself back into a Cummins before long

Can i ask why you need to get rid of YOUR truck and not the burb ? Surely your truck gets better mileage and with fuel being cheaper than gas why go to a gas hog ? When i was going to school driving 110 miles a day i switched from a 4cyl requiring premo gas to a 99 CTD, i saved money with the truck.

It would be really easy to sell a dodge Ram with 6.5 diesel.
