I've been researching and talking to a couple people it shouldn't be hard at all,I haven't started to look at the trans situation though. Not sure what has to be done to put a c6 under it,but we'll cross that bridge when I have the cash to back it. I have a couple bills I want paid off before I start really getting into it,I'll get the truck before then if I find a good one but motor,axles etc will wait. My last bill will be paid off in a year
Sounds good man. You wouldn't want to run a manual in it? I think that'd be pretty sweet. But yeah, it's good that you plan on paying off all your bills before starting a project. No reason to spend money on something when it would be spent elsewhere to pay something off that's more important

Its gonna be a mudder,if you go to the bogs you very rarely see a manual make it to the last round. I'm not gonna race it,but the racers spend a lot of time and money to see what works and what doesn't.
