One of the best custom builds I think I have seen, concept and execution are top level

The interior work is incredible. That center console is awesome!

Been waiting for you to post more. Love this truck

This is an amazing build, there’s nothing I don’t like. What an excellent combination of old and new.

I do like how you have more room behind the engine with the 86 cab! Giving me more thought on a wrecked 06-07 and swapping cabs than using a 86 frame and all and trying to make it all fit and fab up mounts.

Badass build I hope some day I will have time to put together a crew cab

Hey man that’s a beauty of a truck. Absolutely beautiful. I’m looking at a model like that to be restored.

Bro that truck is beyond awesome!!! 🤤🤤🔥

This build is completely Bad To the Bone! I’m in Love with that truck! You did a Fantastic job!

One helluva good job. Beautiful truck

Excellent idea, lad. Even using that Duramax engine in Chevy Caprices and Corvettes is a must. No more gasoline issues.

There’s my dream. Awesome build

Sweet squarebody an that Duramax look like it's right at home under the hood

Awesome job! That truck is a beast!

Sweet now I have a start point ... I've got a 2004 sierra 2500hd with the big block 8.1 and Allison trans .. trucks got some rust on the body but runs like a top and the frame is good ...I've been thinking of going this direction for a while wasn't sure had it been done now I see ...awesome build

Interested in how you did the engine mounts. Sits lower than others I have seen and it’s super well done!

Damn, that’s a dream truck for sure.

This is one of my dream trucks !

Amazing job!! You’ve done exactly what I want to do with my ‘86 Crew Cab. Complete chassis swap! Roughly how much did it cost?

So did you lengthen the cab? Or chop the frame? Truck looks incredible by the way, love it. I’m just about to start one like this

Love them ol square bodies. And alot better than that boat anchor of a 6.2. Lol

So with using the steering column, did you need a stand alone wiring kit?

Beast Mode

Absolutlely love that thing! Would love to do something like that within the next few years. Only thing I'd change is the tach. its a stock diesel, the max rpm itll prolly see is 3500, so theres not a point in having a 8000 rpm tach😂
