In 2017, I brought 1956 chevy truck short bed stepside. This is my 2nd project but by no means am I a professional or expert. I am self-taught by y'all guys on Google. Finally I have time to work on the truck.

I was inspired by Dug`58, Dsraven and others to do this trailblazer frame swap. I sold 56' frame and brought 2002 trailblazer for $1500. After reading other trends, I decided to use the Trailblazer complete body and engine wiring. That way I'll dont worry about Pcm wiring and wiring headaches. I'll be use the same powerful inline engine. I am worrying about the instrument clusters functions. Any ideas? When the time comes.

The plan: complete restoration of the cab only (body, mechanically, electrical and all). Currently, I am test fitting the brake and steering wheel assembly.
Here are some past pics.
