Mazda used the G54B for two years in the B2600, but the rest of the truck was pure Mazda, including the suspension.

I think the basic layout is similar, but doubt that any parts would interchange. Not many options out there for our trucks.

Mazdas are totally different when it comes to cab mounts and suspension. the mazda mounts are a shear-type or floating mount, whereas the d50 the cab sits on the mount. 2wd front suspension on mazdas are torsion bar; d50 coils.

Can't help you on 4wd, but I would think they're different as well
