Re: Duramax Swap?

I Love Duramax's almost as much as my classic Chevy's.....I thought it would be a sweet combo and have looked around and it seem pretty pricey to swap one into a frame of a 67-72.... My question/idea is why not take a regular cab long bed 3/4 ton pickup with a duramax/allison in it and shorten the frame? I am not so sure it would work but I thought it would solve the electrical problems encountered as well as suspension strength and moving those cross members around.
