it'll be easier to get a diesel p/u and swap your body to that truck

I agree with Argon. On top of all the mods to just get the motor in there, to get the susp to sit right you will have to put some king of bigger susp in the front. The diesel is heavier. Wait until Chevy puts the smaller D-Max into the 1500Hd and then get one of those.
