    Duramax/Square body swap? Thoughts?

    Yeah I'm not a huge fan of how far the frame hangs down. But I think in my case I'd want some sort of steps anyway. I've got young kids that I know would want to ride around in it, so they have to be able to get into it. And while I'm not necessarily an old man yet, I do appreciate the...

    Duramax/Square body swap? Thoughts?

    Took me a while to go through it all, but that looks to be very similar to what I'm envisioning in my head! Main difference being that I need 4x4 and that one is 2wd. He's also a heck of a fabricator! I use solid works a lot, and have lasers, brake presses and welders available at my work...

    Duramax/Square body swap? Thoughts?

    I've got a 1988 crew cab square thats overall pretty clean and nearly rust free. I've always been a duramax geek, owned probably a dozen of them, with various degrees of mods and power over the years. Very close to pulling the trigger on a wrecked LBZ or LMM for a swap. Considering a body...
