'85 K1500 LB7/ZF-6 Swap!!!

[SmokeShow]

A few pics of late model dashes in 73-87 trucks. Tho none are actually from 99-07 trucks, the 88-98 dash sure seems similar dimensionally. Most concluded that they are trimmed heavily along the windshield side to tuck in as much as they are. The look good tho IMO.

Same truck from driver's side.

 

[SmokeShow]

A diff truck.

Just to let everyone who's interested know, I've made a little progress on it. I'll get some pictures uploaded by Sunday night :thumb:

 

[clrussell]

Awesome, ready to see it finished

 

[WVRigrat05]

Interested how it's turning out, can't wait for pics

Subd this is awesome, i want to do this someday to an 80's model crew cab long bed.. and your avatar is quite pleasant however distracting

 

[Kspen90]

Here's a pic of the dash. I'll try to get some of the firewall modifications when I go back to the shop. The dash is complete other than the radio, which got stolen while the 02 was parked at my house after the wreck, and the column clam shell that I broke when I took it off.

Wow! Looks great!

Pic of how the dash is by the door jam

Did you have to lop the front of the dash off along the windshield?

Did you graft in the 02 firewall?

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on and updated this in a while. At this point, I've got the chassis finished, the cab back on, the engine in, and I started wiring it all back up today. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow, and I'm sure we'll be playing everyone's favorite game, "Name That Connector!":rofl:

 

[Kspen90]

Well boys, I got her started today! Please ignore that things are kind of just thrown everywhere. They've all been mocked up and just have to be reattached to the front clip when it goes back on.

I wanna throw a dmax in a g body Malibu or my brothers 80 c10, zf of course. Tired of these heavy trucks

 

[Kspen90]

Well I finally got it going right before the last off-road event on labor day weekend. She's still ugly, but it definitely turned a lot of heads and got a lot of questions
