I've seen some pretty nice medium duty trucks with pickup bodies on them, so i was thinking of how to put an early 80s Kodiak nose on a 80s squarebody. Any thoughts?

I think the whole thing is going to be too narrow for the Kodiak nose. The front axles of real trucks are as wide as a dually.

Very cool! It looks like the grill and hood have been narrowed.

If you can dream it you can do it. Apparently.

Yeah, I saw that one. I'm going to try to put a Kodiak nose on my K30. If I need to butcher the truck, I'm not going to do it.

I am very interested in this and own a 1982 Thomas schoolbus nose that was bought for that purpose.

Think EIGHT INCH body lift to make the lines meet. I don't want to butcher my truck either...guess that's $100 i'll never get back!

Hrmph + sad face

Plus! Other than a nose, you have to source the fenders + cowl. Outside of that? After you get the bumper? It's bolt-on goodness?


I have the nose but not the desire to finish, too much work , don't care.
