Dude those are freaking awesome!! I would roll in the Crew Cab configuration but with the short bed like the yellow one. Gotta look into these. Lowered, candy apple red with black deep-dish rims and tinted window would be as a tow rig!!!

Call up Dan Grant at PPE he's sharp on the Dmax, and the swaps. They sell the harness's and stuff. They built a Dmax chevelle, a hummer, a Dmax boat and a bunch of other stuff. I raced with Dan at Irwindale last month he has a 2wd CC LB7 that runs 7.20's. I can tell you right now it will cost you WAY more to do a swap vs just buying a Dmax truck and rolling with it. The swap would be cool tho if u do it right...

K, I found a couple other people on the diesel forum's who I can also talk to about this stuff. Don't want to get anyone too excited though because I have to sell my house first and then find a new place to live so this isn't happening till all that happens. But at least I know what I'm doing now!!

Get a RCLB and chop the frame and swap the bed, and fuel tank prob. Not sure how to make it a LBZ tho... Maybe just start swapping stuff around up top. I think the long block, and computer is similar.

Here is another idea... this tuck uses a cadillac eldorado 500ci transverse engine to make it FWD, so that rear wheels can tuck in like so...
