Yea, probably a month if I had everything ready.
GM to GM swaps are one thing. Swapping in a motor that was never there is another thing.
For the purpose of this rig, stick to some sort of combination of same brand parts.

People swap cummins engines into gm vehicles a lot. Multiple people on this forum are undertaking that swap right now.
If I had one million dollars...

I know. Just needs to be understood as more difficult than some of the other swaps
I appreciate that. I'm definitely capable of it. I just don't know if it's something I want to undertake. I haven't been real excited about anything out there this far.

This is real close to me. I can't quite make out the odometer, but I think it says 117k.

I also read that as 117k. Are you dead-set on 4WD, or are you wanting high fuel mileage? You know these goals usually oppose each other, right?

Yea, I know I can't get everything I want. I'm willing to sacrifice some things to get most of what I want.
So which one is more important?
Both types are out there, but it's easier to find an efficient people-hauling tow rig than a 4WD people-hauling tow rigs. If you're not finding the perfect rig, maybe you're being too picky?
That's possible. But the cost of screwing up with real people is much higher than anything you can do to an iron hunk. If something goes wrong with your truck, it's pretty easy to either fix or just drop it off at the scrap yard and start over. People are not like that, and women are very much not like that.
I'd advise you to take a cautious approach with women. And I'd also advise you to not listen to opinions from the internet.
That's a sweet rig, love the DOT orange. Go test drive it and see if you even like driving the van. Toss in a bench seat or two, some insulation, and a small fold up bed in the back and you have a do it all rig

Test driving is a good idea.

Not a bad plan. Unless your passengers like windows. haha.
Ok, lemme know if you have any specific answer/advice you are wanting.P.S. - "Aright" sounds like an East Coast thing to say.
He'd have windows for the first few passengers. How many folks are you planning on hauling? I think solid walls aren't a detriment if he does wind up camping out in the back.
