has anyone ever done a body swap with a durmax? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.
