looks like the truck has a 2" or 2"5" lift too.
so im gonna swap it over. and maybe the newer dash after a dye job.

rims are going to get blasted and painted black.

No....but I have an aftermarket harness wired up anyway so its no worry for me. As for mounting....yes it is with very little modding. I switched my 86 interior with my old 92 interior pretty easily...now I want it back!!

the dash is 2 bolts and 4 screws...and then three hours of finding wires and cutting them off the dash and labeling....its the wiring that sucks the most about getting the dash out.

sorry dude. already tore it down for the rebuild.


ok for you more experienced guys.
turns out. the parts truck is a 89 not a 91/2

and my rad support isnt as bad as we thought. can i keep my inner fender supports, and rad support to do the front end swap?

any pics of a swap or link to one would be great!

OK so after a long weekend of knuckle busting. heres were we stand. 2 inch lift in the back. one busted brake line DO'H. and a new front end.







the parts truck was a TOTAL bucket. i ended up ripping the driver door clean off while trying to hop up and grab somthing off the roof.

well, looks like i need to get rid of it anyways. front end is all fixed up runs like a champ. 4x4 works. just needs a longer belt for the AC and a recharge and the AC will blow.

leveled out and comes with a nice set of 31's

anyone interested?
