thinking of swaping

[03stacks]

how hard do you think it would be to take a duramax and frame cut it to a swb and set my 99 on top?

o sorry silverado 99 reg short 2wd 4.8l auto.

my plan is to take a roll over dmax with a nice frame and cut it to my reg short wheel base. then strip all the wiring, cluster and column out of the old cab and put it in myne and bolt everything down. will this work? am i missing anything?

 

[MadMaxx61]

yes and no you will still need a tuner like EFI-Live to take care of alot of codes.

I would look more at the older Dmaxes like the LB7 or the LLY they are more friendly to swaps then the LBZ/LMM's

It can be done but will be a lot of work.

Why not just buy a long wheel base reg cab dmax and shorten it and put shortbed on it. Much much easier.

good point,

Maybe he like the 99?

 

[Darius6t9]

maybe he already HAS the 99'. And the frame is messed up on it but the body is good. I've seen that on many occasions.

i already have the 99 but its 2wd 4.8l and duramaxes are bad ass!
