If your stepside is a 2wd, the swap would be much easier as you can use the crossmember you already have.

yes, my stepside is 2wd... I haven't done a crap load of work on vehicles... pretty much cutting my teeth on this chevy. Other than logic and common sense on my side...
I'd just love to hear a turbo diesel under the hood. How well do the mounts line up, is there any fab work required?
Awesome project, can't wait to see some videos of it running
