You're gonna need the diesel frame rails too. They're shorter. Otherwise the hood won't fit.
Basically you need almost the entire front end of a 756 or 826 diesel to make a D310 or D358 work and make it right. That's why we never did it. Too many parts, not enough time and not enough shop.
Later on, I found a DT360 out of an old bus on ebay. Dad had also made friends with the old wrench at the local CaseIH dealer. Leon said he could make it work, and the old C291 was rattlin' to beat the band, so we bought the engine and took it all over to Leon. He made it work, but it still took a lot of parts, a little cobbling, and the hood is too short.
I practically stole the engine, Leon did all the work for practically free, and got all the parts he needed from his "secret" sources and sold them to us at cost. Dad's recouped the cost of the conversion in fuel many times over, but this is an isolated case where everything fell together and we got lucky.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
