I finally got the Avalanche home. It has sat for almost a year, but it fired right up and ran nice and smooth. No knocking... no ticking... no smoke... good oil pressure.
I really love the interior. I did some measuring and it shouldn't be too bad to get the seats to fit the truck. The biggest challenge will be reinforcing the floor enough to be safe. the new seats have the seatbelts built into the seat. I am going to strip everything from the interior of the donor. I am thinking about using all of the window switches and the wiring and computer that goes with them. Of course I will have to build custom door panels which sounds like fun anyway. Hell, I might even use the steering column.That would probably get a little complicated integrating into the lighting and wipers and such, but that kind of sounds like fun too.
