That is one clean looking setup. Did you have any problems with it fitting or mounting up in the suburban.

It is obviously a big job to do everything it takes to make things like "factory". This was my sixth coversion that I have done so I have just a bit of expierence in the process. As far as my half ton chassis it doesnt ever give me any problems. The frame on the chevy is extremely tough because it is basically all boxed in. I just posted pics in my gallery hopefully they will be more visible than the others.

dang ... that looks awesome. no firewall cutting needed to make it fit ? did u use an auto or 5 spd ? how about some interior pics if it changed anything. and why did you use the 1500 sub instead of a 25 or 3500 suburban. do you do this professionally ?
what kind of $ are you looking at to do the conversion if a fella supplied you with a suburban and and the cummins ? scott

i WOULD BE HAPPY TO SELL YOU MINE EVEN AS MUCH AS I LIKE IT. THE PRICE HOWEVER IS KINDA NASTY WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT YOU THINK IT IS WORTH AND THEN I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD TAKE FOR THIS ONE. THERE ARE NO CHANGES ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. I AM USING A 3000.00 47 RH DODGE TRANS, GOERAND BROS TRANSMISSION SHOP IN IOWA. LIFETIME WARR.ON CONVERTER 100K ON TRANS.
