You got any build pictures and i am not very very curious as to how you did it...
I am most interested in what your options for the HVAC are... Is the wiring harness for all that (the climate control it self) separate and independent of the rest of the truck or do you have to kinda build it scratch?

ya the 04 dash wont fit because of the dish on the passenger side. but like i said i ran into this dash and got it for free. but if iwere to go out and buy a dash i would have got 07 silverado dash. no pics yet, as you can see the dash is just sittting on wood blocks. not sure what the HVAC is but im thinking its the ac and heater box? i have the full wiring harness from the 07 avalanche so im completely gutting out the 85 and wiring it with the 07 avalanche wiring harness. so im going to have to splice in the lights, windshield wipers, door locks, and the window motors. i think thats about it...

Buy two cabs and do a floor pan/fire wall swap... or do what you have done and try to graph the two together piece by piece?
Your far enough into this project you will be able to tell me what you think of the first option. Granted its ALOT more welding, possible "more" work but i am more concerned about the over all fit and finish of every thing...
Your thoughts?

i would definitely not try to swap floor pans or fire wall. my dash fits damn good for just the little trim work i've done. but like i said if i was going to go buy a dash i would get a 07 silverado dash. in my opinion it looks way nicer. all i've done so far is cut out the 85 dash and cut out the humps for the seat in the 85. its way easier to plate in the humps than to redo the floor pan... thats my opinion. i've been welding and fabing for over 10 years and thats just my opinion. let me know what ya think
