Find a good running 6.0/4L80/NV4500 4wd donor & some old truck body of your choosing.

drop them off with a $5k check at M4wd fabrication shop. Come back in couple of weeks.... win?

Those are cool for a daily. Need another three levels of attention to be rock solid reliable AND tolerably quiet and rattle free for a family road trip machine.

Ignoring crash safety. Which for this should maybe be a consideration.

I had a 2002 2500HD 4 door long box and liked it. It was a 8.1 which was fine but 9mpg. Big but manageable.

Other one was 2003 ext can short box 6.0.

The 6.0 eats and was my favorite. Both were 4x4 push button and I liked that.

There is no way I would go diesel again unless I’m hawgin a monster trailer.

Agreed. Diesel is great for towing but a 6.0 gasser is an awesome all-around unit.

Ehhhhhhhh. After taking my Duramax to rausch this weekend, I don't think I'd ever go back to gas. Too bad he wants rust free, my 06 6.0 is for sale.
