Re: 1953 on 2002 frame
This is one of the projects I have in my barn. I have not started it yet but am gathering the pieces needed. I have a cab with a 2.5 ton front clip and just recently picked up this 04 2500HD as my chassis donor.

This belongs to Purple Monkey Customs in Florida and is his shop truck/tow rig. On a 1 ton dualie chassis running a Duramax. Small truck nose but a big truck nose would fit the tires a little better.

Re: 1953 on 2002 frame
I don't think there is a lot of difference between '93 and '02 in the frames. T ake a look here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=408344
