Having done this swap 4bt on the 59 Power Giant 1/2 ton I was glad that I did. The swap was easy to do and then you get 25 miles to gallon. Be sure to upgrade to 4 wheel disc brakes. When I did mine it was cheaper to do the, 4bt I had got for under 2 grand, put ZF ford transmission behind it for 200 dollars. Rewire the whole truck pull every bit of old wiring out and start from scratch. Make the wiring loom yourself dont try to cobble a pre bought loom cost next to nothing to do from scratch. The disc brakes stopped this truck on a dime. Power was excellent sounded great and everyone like it. Wish I had kept that truck for sure. I think the poly conversion would cost you more since the poly would be harder to find unless you already have one.
