Default 3208T CAT Powered Chevy

I was reading through a magazine when I though hmm I wonder if it is possible to Make a 3208T CAT powered CHEVY?!Transmissions well I was thinking between an Allison MT650 or a Spicer.With Eaton Differencial Lockers.Am I crazy or is it possible to make this idea happen?Expensive perhaps but I think it would be worth it a CAT Allison Powered CHEVY or GMC!

i hate to tell ya but there aint no way your puttin a 3208 into a 1 ton pickup truck, that engine easily weighs 4k lbs and would take up an entire 6ft bed on a pickup.
