    Anything is possible with enough money, although if you do the swap, the truck won't be legal in CA.

    Is anything ever legal in California for truckers? Usually anything good for trucks or truckers is illegal in California.

    Wiring is very similar on truck side. Swap pins 11 and 21 for fan. This is for 6nz 70 pin, if you plan on using older 40 pins you will need an adapter or lots of wiring patience. Lot more issues to think about if you buy a truck with cat and try to put a detroit or cummins in.
