K30, SRW to DRW?

Probably worth considerably more than Lawrence is looking to spend though.

Sell the K30....keep the k30.....round and round in my head. I'm thinking I just might keep it. Frame off restoration, short bed, killer paint and interior.... basically copy what I did to my K5, to this K30. I've always wanted a crew cab short bed, and I'm afraid if I sell mine to just buy another one in a few years, I'll never find one as clean and rust free as mine is.

I won't have time to do this project for a year or 2, but thats okay because I'd like to see a few more Duramax conversions completed and all figured out, because a Dmax/Allison is what I would want to do.
 
Hmmm. Maybe it's not that crazy hard anymore to get a Dmax running.

Looks like PPE has it figured out, and they are here in California. $2400 for their complete stand alone harness and tuning system that will push 700HP out of a Dmax. $10K and I bet a guy could have a Dmax in, with their harness/controller system, and a built Allison. Not that expensive really.

Keep it. Too easy to sell it, have the money in your hand, spend it and sooner or later afterwards you will want another K30 and the end result will be harder to find one in the same condition as yours if not better.

I currently have three K30's parked in the shop along with the 2500HD. I've owned these trucks for quite some time and all have been paid for ten times over. Wouldn't sell them for anything. They're in too good of shape as far as rust goes and they're worth gold to me since its hard to find them in good shape. These will be projects for me to tinker on sooner or later when time and money allows. If not sooner then later when I retire.

Thats what I'm thinking. Only bad part is I've already put a new interior in the truck and I don't have somewhere to store it inside, and I'd hate to see a couple of California summers destroy the interior, I've got to figure that one out.
