I do. I'd like to get a couple more conversions lined up before the end of the year. I will keep you guys posted on the progress on my truck.

I've been planing to do that and I just bought 12-valve Cummins and manual transmission. I want to put it into my 1/2 ton '02 Silverado and do alot of fabrication but my dad says just to find about the same year truck but in a 3/4 or 1 ton to make things a little easier.

I'd run the half ton. The power to weight ratio would make that truck fun to drive.

Googled chevy to cummins conversions and this thread popped up so I registered to get in on the fun. I too am interested in doing this. I have a 2002 Denali Quadrasteer that I would love to have an 03 or so model cummins dropped in it and was wondering what it would take money and work wise to make it happen.
