I like this idea! Keep us posted on the progress and would imagine this would be a very fast truck when done, even with a stock duramax engine.

Nice. Keep us posted as I also like the idea of a 2WD SWB Duramax!

Nice!

A buddy that rebuilds alot of late model GM trucks done a Duramax / Allison swap into a regular cab shorty 1/2 ton truck by doing a 2" body lift. After it was done you would be hard pressed to say it wasn't factory! I should have snapped a few pics before he sold it.

That looks so cool. It's a shame GM never put those high nose hoods on the GMC's, great job with it!

ghettoluxury · 04-02-2013, 10:56 AM

I want to see a grille in this thing. That hood mod is great.
