The W600 has heavier axles and transfer case than your donor vehicle. To swap those parts would downgrade your truck.

Welcome Wayne,

I would love to see pictures of your W600. I have a 75 model.
Which front axle does yours have, Dana 70 or the Rockwell?
Gordon is right. The Cummins motor would be an upgrade, but the rest of the drivetrain would not.
