Looking great, excited to see the progress

New doors and fenders look like they fit pretty well. Are you going to integrate the dash and wiring from the Tahoe, or use a stand alone harness?

thanks Gr8-68.


notsolo. I am planning on using the truck dash and the tahoe wiring harness, steering column, etc. My goal is to use the tahoe heat and air also.

Question for ya,,, If your planning on running the Tahoe HVAC system and steering column,,, wouldn't you want to "mock" those things up before you go to paint? Hate to see you have to cut in to a freshly painted cab to get that stuff to fit and work.

Yes sir, that is what I am working on now. I have 2 weeks left to finnish it.

well I dont think its going to fit. no matter how I do it I dont see how to make the tahoe air box to fit under the dash.

Modifications to the 72 dash solve anything or are you going to build a new air box in a different shape? Any way to blend the firewalls to gain extra space.

my goal was to keep the 72 dash as stock looking as possible but the tahoe air box is just too wide to fit between the dash front and the firewall. If I try to blend the tahoe firewall that will just move the firewall closer to the motor and im not sure if thats possible. But thanks for the suggestion. I will definately take a look at doing that this evening. It would be a huge undertaking to try to make a new box because the tahoe has dual heat and air and it will be sweet if I can keep that in tact. I really appreciate your input. Thanks.
