DURAMAX SWAPPED SQUAREBODY PT. 2 - TEST FITTING BODY ONTO THE FRAME
Today I show what it takes to swap a square body cab onto a 2004 Duramax chassis. I had to cut off the original frame mounts and shorten them and move them to line up with the 89' cab. Then I fit a 1976 front clip onto the cab, and I show the core support modifications it takes to fit the intercooler. Thanks for watching and let me know if you guys have any questions for your builds or similar projects!

    Had to have some rust in the cylinders in spots for it to crank that slow then fire right up. You can add all the fluids you want into the oil and gas but it will only do so much with the current state it’s in. But it sure is fun to save these things, especially a custom van.

  • @Trikekid84

    It’s got a lot of cool parts on it that they aren’t making anymore, but no interior, maybe it was half way done and got parked for some reason.

    I'm fixin' to build one just like it. Thanks for the video. Oh, by the way, that sliding bottom plate is a great idea. It combines a controllable air source and a way to dump ashes. The horizontal rods is another great idea. They're heavy enough not to turn bright red and collapse.

      Wouldn't suggest using a pressure washer on seals and other areas not meant to see anything near that type of pressure. Makes a lot more work for ya, and surely creates a bigger hole where there might of just been a smaller one.
