Building The Cleanest Duramax Shorty Build On YouTube!

[@jarehtherrell8166]

Eating while watching Truck master is the bomb!

[@andrewgeorgelang]

I like listening to Mark talk. He just knows stuff. The word Cattywampus is used here in Ontario daily, by just about everyone LOL Thanks for sharing

[@ryanstensrud9740]

the look on marks face when you said to let it squat, was classic

[@jeffreycoates4408]

Short bed regular cab Duramax builds are so awesomely man!!! Love your content!!! God bless

[@codycleveland2853]

if you were to cut the lap joint, then section the frame just forward of that it would have made your lives a lot easier and it take all of the guesswork out of making everything fit

[@royosborn7869]

Thanks for taking us along on this build. Great content, and it is fun to see Mark and Ryan and you doing this build - will be looking forward to seeing it when everything is finished - it will be awesome.

[@daveb9575]

I basically done the exact opposite thing last year. Turned my Crew cab short bed LBZ to a dually flat bed. Took 14" rear sections of a donor frame and added to rear of my frame, moved hangers and moved rear crossmember back 14". Lot of work but I love my flatbed now. Use it for work every day. 405K and still going.

[@caleblevasseur2657]

The look Mark gave you when you mentioned "squat" 🤣🤣🤣

[@streetbob2155]

So true 😂

[@FarmerSteveO]

Looks like the professor hasn’t missed a beat since the old fabricating days of building the Kodiak monster truck! Just went from big tires and blow alcohol, to a Shorty and ripping Duramax! Great context!

[@Ray00069]

That would be a perfect plow truck.

[@nunyabiz8708]

Back in the day this was my go to for plow trucks.. I used FWD 1 ton chassis with narrow dual rear wheels. Chop frame but pie cut the frame for strength. Use a flat side 6' box then rubbed the rear box to clear the rear dual wheels. Big block under hoods and 8.6 fr ok not plow and a rear back blade.

[@brannonfrost4286]

That truck build has coolness dripping all over it!Just wicked.

[@advancedwallstructures1756]

I built one of these 10 years ago lol, brings back memories

[@k.lamareyev4418]

Always wanted a regular cab short bed duramax

[@PhillWickert]

Can't wait to get my truck back as it's at Ryan's right now getting the heads done. Hope to see you soon josh!!

[@Logan__Brown]

Id c-notch that frame if you want to have any travel in the rear. I have the djm 3/5 in my lbz, overload spring taken out and there’s probably 2.5” between the frame and axle. Rides fine but if I put just groceries in the bed it bottoms out on good bumps. I’m getting a lot of squeaks too but good luck on the build. Who doesn’t want a diesel shorty haha

[@Wyatt-010]

I’ve been waiting for a while to see this glad to see it didn’t get forgotten!

[@BlueSilverado]

I want to do this for my next truck

[@mikee2398]

I would also run some bracing to the inside web of the C channel on the frame as opposed to just on the edges for the cross member

[@jamesherald5050]

This one is got me interested can’t wait to see it finished

[@haskellburks]

Hello Josh. Well we finally get to see The Shorty Duramax build. I know it'll be awesome when done.

[@GIGACHADChadsmongold]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for! Please keep these videos coming of the shorty build!

[@ericbrayman3244]

The shorty project is looking good! DIBS!

[@michaelpell3003]

Can’t wait to see what you guys do with this once it’s all finished! Keep up the great content I know it’s not easy!

[@adolph289]

LOOKS VERY GOOD

[@Donkeygap750]

Here in southern Texas it’s Katty Whompus👍🏼

[@larryboyle590]

It’s going to be a fun little truck.

[@junes2451]

Man i wish i kept mine! LBZ shorty is so rare

[@korn111685]

I like these kinds of builds. Duramax builds, conversions. 👍👍

[@asianpersuasion1807]

I've been wondering about this build. Thanks for sharing.

[@CarlDillow]

That truck is awesome buddy

[@RoadhogRNA]

That’s is going to be too good!!! Nice Work!!!

[@nathanhiemstra8228]

I love the build so far! I’m just curious why the massive drop shackles!? Race truck!?

[@mondo9.2.5]

[@bradbarnett7747]

[@ChristianHelser999]

[@codysutterfield1052]

This channel should be called The Guy Who Videos Ryan’s Diesel Service work. Almost all the content is them or work done by them!

[@cliff7536]

Awesome. My dream is to body swap my 69 K20 onto my 13 LML chassis.

[@allamerican7830]

That’s bad ass man!!!!

[@rooob-toob5845]

So basically its a 5/8 ton. Has a nice ring to it. lol

[@henrybrundage7186]

Need more Earl content!

[@BillyDiesel76]

The build is really taking shape Josh ! It's gonna be awesome to see it at the finish line ! But on a side note , when will you be replenishing your merch stock ? I need new stickers for my back window. Lol

[@jacobmorenzoni1873]

Should do a 5.5ft bed

[@35057]

Man you got 4K now 😁 (I’m just now noticing) Josh leveling up now. Love the shorty build! 🇺🇸😎

[@benb6801]

Is the bed length difference for a 08 duramax 14” as well ?

[@EliasStonehocker]

Man it’s be really cool if you found one of those stepside 1/2 ton beds they had and put a gooseneck turnover ball in it too lol

[@jorgebarrera5840]

Hey Josh I been looking for a hsp high flow hsp kit and can't find one, on their page.

[@TruckMaster]

Give Hsp a call and ask for Mike

[@shanemfsherwood8466]

Lmao, he say we know your from FLINT. Had me laughing 😂

[@digi3218]

You got some great content man 👍

[@noeltrejo9756]

Badass!

[@adrianaroadriguez4268]

Drive shaft needs cutting ?

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Awesome 👌

[@thatdave86]

Nice to see something being created Better than having a truck with issues 😀 that have to be sorted

[@foxrace0985]

The look he gave you when you said to leave it and the truck will squat.

[@thsgamer3709]

Amazing

[@carltrano1325]

Super cool build . Just hope it doesn’t look like A Daytona Boulevard cruiser when you’re done.

[@melvinwhite9220]

Love it

[@chevyfan82]

Nice 👍

[@serchm7727]

6:55 🤣🤣

[@deweydecimal1446]

In Tennessee it's kattywampus

[@jesusmungaray3020]

Does it works on the 1500?

[@SUBI_PaT]

Earl didn’t show up to the crossmember delete show 😂😂😂

[@jasondudley362]

Katty wampus here in georgia

[@jonathanrighetti5897]

this would be so much better if you made it a dually

[@connorkatz4487]

Do a 5.75 foot bed for a true shorty

[@tommydanger2564]

“They didn’t cut any corners on this build!” ….except for the two back ones…. 😉😂

[@TruckMaster]

Nice 👍 😂

[@danieldavis5242]

Hope you plan on keeping the shorty build knowing josh would make it a give away vehicle I think it would be cool make it more powerful than the wifemax build

[@shredthegnar3025]

Where did you get your inspiration to make a shorty duramax

[@Z71_Kevin]

I get what you guys are trying to do but why didn’t you take the cab off the frame and cut/grind the seam weld under the cab where the rear half and front half of the frame meet together? You could of cut out your 14” by cutting the rear half of the frame, then slide the rear half of the frame into the front half, and weld the 2 frame half’s back together. The rear suspension would of been in the factory location.

[@05Duramax07]

I just came here to say this, except that seem isn’t under the cab, it’s at the rear section of frame. But same idea. They’re fucking it away.

[@matt.lander]

It’s kinda wonky tbh but in terms of frame longevity and mounting the bed in the factory position ig it makes the most sense. Ig there’s a reason why there’s a kit for this way

[@yovision329]

Probably preferred to cut off the rear of the frame rather than welding it together. Frame longevity type thing.

[@05Duramax07]

@@yovision329 you’re literally trimming the frame and rewelding it at the factory seam. Doesn’t affect integrity and a skilled welder would actually end up welding it stronger than factory.

[@yovision329]

@@05Duramax07 Gotcha idk much about Chevy frames figured they z cut it and re weld like most do.

[@Matt-The-Welder]

It would be super cool to do a zf6 swap

[@johnfetzer9637]

hav a 96 chevy work truck , 4.3 L would you be interested in converting my long bed to a short bed ???

[@shemwhitehead9517]

I need me a single cab, reverse leveled LB7.

[@swisherhandymanservices6033]

Hello truck master do you know of a place to get a new ECM/PCM for 06 duramax LBZ?

[@jaybirdls1]

Don’t tell the wife, but I think Josh smiles the biggest when he’s at Ryan’s Diesel 🤣🤫

[@jimbeckes1743]

is it going to be converted to a 4x4?

[@huntergrivetti1457]

Super weird I've been on KZbin for 20 minutes, update the home page and here you are 1 min ago uploaded

[@richardclark247]

If your building a Race truck why would you go back to a leaf spring??

[@goruby2]

Thank you Josh , that thing is going to be a tire smoker ! NEVER EVER VOTE DEMOCRAT!

[@richardharvey8939]

The rust there is always shocking to a Texan like me. Put new rear leafs on my 04 Chevy hd last week barely any surface rust still paint on most of frame. Unbolted easily. My leaves had flattened out due to flat bed.

[@jeremymcnicol9585]

Real question is do you leave it 4x2. I think so. Keep her weight down

[@eastonwest]

Do a Cat eye swap pls

[@BadGoat92]

I get why people like the shorty idea, but rclb’s look sooooo much better

[@aarontello9628]

Hear me out. Drop it and put a hood stack 👏🏻👏🏻

[@garrettmonk8432]

Is the shorty your performance truck and your wife can have hers back

[@ffmed6495]

Looks sharp!
