or know anyone that has ever put a dashboard and steering column from a 73-87 chevy truck, into one of our trucks, blazers or burbs? if so do tou know what it would take to put one in?

**N2TRUX** · 04-27-2007, 12:00 AM

Just a guess...

*project 67 sub* · 04-27-2007, 12:26 AM

thats pretty funny.
pics of this mod would also help if anyone has any.

by the way N2TRUX, nice truck in your avatar.

why do you want to put one of those colums in? for tilt? if so you can get a colum out of a van and it bolts right in i believe

When I see a newer column in one of our trucks I kinda throw up in my mouth a little.

Now that is very nice because the whole dash (well half anyway) has been grafted in. I like that.

Where did you get those pics. Do you have any more.

mvfd70 · 04-27-2007, 10:14 AM

That's a lot of work. I'm not really sure if I like it or not. I'm leaning towards not liking it though. I'm a stickler for stock.

It's in the 1972 section. I think those are all thats there though.

Edit: Hmmm, not sure why all the ******* are showing up. Replace the ***** with ricks pickup parts, but with all three words ran together. Is that url banned from this site or something? Even when I type those three words together, it still shows up ******??

that 4X4 has been on e-bay a few times if I recall.
I have to ask also, why do you want to install the 73 - 87 dash? I'm not bashing here... Just curiouse... the dash on the 67 - 72 is simplistic and clean, just like the rest of the truck. Not over cluttered, easy to figure out, everything is in easyreach, nothing to bash your knees on... etc.

Longhorn Man:
its just a thought, plus I have the whole truck. and I dont want my ride to be like everyone elses. that and it will be easier to hide a/c behind and it has a tilt column out of a 91' suburban and a custom dashface and newer dash pad. I also like the newer dashboard, but dont get me wrong the original dases are nice to.

*project 67 sub* · 04-28-2007, 09:15 PM

bump.

Spray-Bomb · 04-29-2007, 02:00 AM

Ok, I put the tilt column out of a 70 somethin chevy in my truck (well my dad did the mods)

I don't know what it takes to put a van column in, but this took A LOT of modification to make it work

But if you're like me & don't have any money, but want tilt then yes you can mod one to fit

Sorry no pics of the mods

Installing the van columns is pretty easy, here are a couple links from the FAQ's:
