Build a hypothetical 3500HD.

[454cid]

I have a 6.5 Opitmizer with all of the reliability goodies and some upgrades. That will be the initial stage. The first stage will be to extend the frame for the crew cab and swap everything from Pearl, our 2000 K3500 dually into the 3500hd chassis. It will stay 2wd at that time.

Oh, so you don't' even really need a good body. I wondered what you would do with Pearl.

As far as I know, it's just the injectors that need to be replaced, and it's a pain to do.

That's what's wrong with all of them, but they suck the worst to do on the early ones.

She will become bigger, badder, better. She will be.........PEARL 2.OH MY!

Lengthening that frame should be a chore, that middle section is a frame on a frame. That crew cab is still up for $9500 by me.

I'm not concerned about extending the chassis. I'm more concerned about fabricating the suspension. I've never done anything like that before. It sounds like the bigger diameter of the bag the better it will ride at lower pressure.
