Re: custom crew cab discussion

a frame swap may prove to be easiest if i want a diesel. the two major things for me to work out besides the cab is the front suspension and the motor. i want a 5.9L cummins, but that would end up being either a custom frame, or a dodge chassis under the chevy truck. i could look for a chevy 2500 or 3500 i guess, and use the duramax...

i still have the 8-lug 3/4 straight axle from my truck that i could use, but it would need some custom disc brakes, and some sort of power steering worked out.
