I got a billet adaptor made and a spud shaft. I also think the 5.0L cummins might be ideal conversion if it is more compact than a Duramax motor. Cheers Gaz

nice any pics?
and yea the 5.0 is only 345kg with 300hp and 550ft/lb and without all the euro6 junk should be a sweet fit

No pics as too rushed when I installed it. I can't even take a photo now as 4 inch exhaust hides it

Cheers
Gaz

ah shame! anyway keep up the good work!

Any updated here Gaz.

New sheet metal dash. Wanted decent A/C and no room under the bonnet. Lucky i have the extra cab for depth of dash to house A/C. I also wanted to run the chevy instrument cluster.

Got the chassis sandblasted and galvanised last week. Sandblasted front/rear diffs and slapped couple of tins of paint on them. Have a rolling chassis and starting to put it back together at long last.
