Duramax Swap Pics
I was flipping through my latest issue of "Diesel Power" mag, and spotted a '70 C-10 with a Duramax swap. If anyone has the March 2011 issue of Diesel Power it's on page 66 in the lower left corner. It only has one pic of it, I'm wondering if maybe he's a member on here or not. Says it's owned by Joe Komaromi from PPE.
Anyone know if he's a member and/or have any more pics of his truck?

Re: Duramax Swap Pics
I really want to do one too. I havent seen the article but im curious if its easier to swap the drivetrain or to do a frame swap? What did he do, does it say?

Re: Duramax Swap Pics
Really no info on it at all. Just one pic of it in the "Duramax Day" coverage article. Just one picture and the caption reads, "Joe Komaromi of Pacific Performance Engineering owns this '70 Chevy C-10 repowered with a Duramax engine. Diesel Power Associate Editor Jason Sands got the honors to drive the immaculate, 650hp creation to the event."
That's all the info I got.

Re: Duramax Swap Pics
Yea, that's PPE Diesel's truck. I believe they make standalone Duramax and Allison ECM/TCM harnesses now.

Re: Duramax Swap Pics
Here is an example of a burb running around my town.
I talked to the guy on the phone, after I spotted it parked at the local Home Depot parking lot. He said that he got a late model 4 door PU that was a roll over, and gutted it of the drive train wiring and interior. He said the frame was shortened approximately 2 feet, then the old burb body was placed on to it.

Re: Duramax Swap Pics
That is a very nice truck. These swaps are really time consuming even if you purchase the wiring harnesses to complete them. Plus you will drop a lot of money in then quick!
