Re: 68 C30 Duramax swap

That thing is ridiculous

but I recommend boxing the frame. I've seen it several times in square body trucks. The weight/rattle/torque tends to destroy a frame mainly under the engine and trans. Cracks around engine mounts and loosens rivets.

At least you're starting with a thicker C30 frame, but if it's going to be used for anything other than show, you might want to box the front portion of the frame.
