That's not a bad idea

Ok the cab is back on for the final time. Now just test fitting the rest of the body then time to make it run

Are you posting this all real time?? I.e. As its happening? If so this is pretty incredible that you've got it to this point in only a week or two. Looks like your doing excellent work. I've done a K/5 frame swap on my 3100 so I know first hand the amount of work this takes. Looks like your doing a great job!

The post where I cut up the tahoe was a week prior but everything else is real time. And thank you

i built the new steering shaft and installed the 2008 trailblazer ss brake booster and master cylinder

MARKDTN · 01-13-2016, 08:26 AM

Any updates on this? I was enjoying this one.

NurseBen · 01-14-2016, 01:10 AM

Yes, more please! I'm doing a similar swap but with a 2011 GMC Savana AWD van. I'm only using the chassis/running gear but have some questions for you. Looks like the track width of the van and Tahoe are fairly close, I believe the van is a few inches wider, have you run into any issues with wheels protruding from the fenders? Looks like your keeping the stock height, mine will be as low as possible so I'm anticipating fitment issues. Why did you redo your gas lines? I'm enjoying your build, keep the updates coming.

NurseBen · 01-14-2016, 01:12 AM

Oh and what did you use for the steering shaft. Thank you

Can you give me some info on it or pictures? I am currently building a 88 crew cab short bed that I converter to 4x4 and I have a 6.5TD/NV4500 for it. I haven't seen or couldn't really find anyone who has done a build thread on it.

treveiger · 03-16-2016, 11:33 AM

Looks great so far.

AMERICAN PICK-UP · 03-16-2016, 12:48 PM
