What year and model are the Dodge frame? I see it's a 2nd gen but it looks long like cab and chassis. The cab doesn't seem too loud on video. Cab mounts fairly easy? Any fire wall and front of the frame mods to fit the Chevy cab?

Yeah its a 2nd gen frame from a 97 extended cab longbed truck. Could'nt believe how well it all fit but the motor is set back 4.75" from where it originally was in the dodge and then the front frame horns were cut back 5" and new bumper mounts were fabbed. For the cab mounts, I used the dodge that I had cut off and shortened and then rewelded to the frame. The front cab mounts I was able to line up and use the factory dodge isolators but the rear I had to move the cab mounting side out to get the isolator beside the frame. The rad support is 95% custom and uses the mounts I cut from the dodge support and brought the frame side in closer toward the frame rail. Fairly easy swap when done this way as opposed to what I see other guys do. All I had to do on the firewall was roll the pinch over an hammer a bit to get the trans dipstick to not contact.

@@connorduester I was wondering because the engine sits so far forward in the Dodge chassis. I really dig your truck. Kickass build!
