DAMN!! After Chris's swap I know what my next project is gonna be!!

I'm subscribing to this swap, this is gonna be sweet!!

 

Thanks for the positive comments guys! A few locals give me a weird look when I say Im shortening it, its the "wtf why would you do that look" haha hopefully going under the knife monday afternoon!, have some light body work to do to the box first

 

Awesome!! those ZF6 suck tho.. eat clutchs like no other.

 

Take plenty of pics!!!! Are you taking off the cab, and where do you plan to cut the frame at, under the cab?

Thanks.

 

Guys on the duramax forums like them? Buddy that had the truck just swapped out the original clutch not long before I bought it so it cant be to bad on them

I was going to start tomorrow but my stupid boss is forcing over time
But no Im cutting the weld that's in the middle of the wheel well right about the axle, then im cutting 13 inches out of the back section of the frame, then sliding it back together and re welding, then cutting 5 inches off the very back of the frame. There will be plenty of pics!
