Re: Morphing a 1956 Chevy 3200 onto a 2001 Tahoe Chassis

Yes, the cab was hit on the right side in its prior life, so I expect I will be force fitting the doors anyway. Since I didn't want to modify any of the mechanics on the Tahoe, I needed to make a few tweaks to the body on the bed to make it fit over the emergency brake cable bracketry. I actually made the be dual wall, and I intend to weld it all together into one piece.

Had to cut the dash into several pieces in order to align the instruments with the wheel. Designed it such that it is now a "bolt-in" dash as opposed to welded in. Hand fabricated all the brackets and such. I will try to get photos of that.

I used all of the factory body mounts and repositioned them as needed to accommodate the 56 bed and core support.
