The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am pretty new here my truck is a 1984 with a 5.9 cummins and 5 speed, 4X4, it also has 05 power seats in it. Here are a couple of pictures taken today of it hauling off the Cummins donor. It really needs washed and cleaned up.

You should post up some info on your swap in a build thread. Several guys on here looking to do similar swaps so the more experienced info shared, the better/easier the swaps get.

Icredible job on the build SS it looks awesome, as for my seats I'll have to see if I can find the photos ogre brackets but it's pretty basic. Just cut the humps out of the floor and welded in a flat piece of plate. Then where the divets in the floor drop lower than the play I welded in some 1.5 x 3 inch tubing and dropped a bolt through the seat rail mounts throughout the tubing and the floor. I'll try and find some pics . Thanks for the interest.

actually, that was a previous post quote... I haven't started my build yet. I've got a pending project on an '84 CC that's already been shortened to 1/2 ton. I hope to dig into this 1st of the year. I wanna do the late model buckets w/ seatbelts integrated, and that's why I inquired on you build. Cool truck BTW!

I have been thinking about doing a build thread on this truck I am no expert on the swap but mine does work great and is a work in progress my biggest problem is I take very few pictures of anything when working on it. I may start a build thread on the truck in a few days

Well, we've all met 'experts' that feel their way is the only way. Then there's the guy that has experience & admits his way worked but feels this or that could be approached differently for better results.

Most guys on this board will take that shared experience ;) .

This truck was posted on another board for sale and I figured I'd add it to this thread.
