has anyone ever done a body swap with a durmax?

Me and my friend were driving my dad's truck and thought if anyone has ever body swapped one of our trucks with a newer silverado with a durmax with the transmission and motor and everything. Or is it even possible?

Sorry this is kind of a pointless post lol

yes, it has been done, but too costly and a lot of modification. I personally don't think it's worth it.

If you click this link, there is an 08-09' Duramax transformed into a 71-72.
