I've seen 95-98 dashes installed, don't think I've come across a 99-07 yet

I think they are too wide.

There was a copper crew cab 4x4 that had the 99-06 dash in it. I'll see if I can find some pics. If not I know Glock35ipsc has them.

If you are considering changing up the dash, I would just go ahead and do a full custom dash. Don't get me wrong, I love the modern conveniences of the interiors of my 01 and 03 trucks, but you lose that "solid" feel of your steel dash in your 67-72 truck. I just hate how when I press on the dash on my 01 or 03 you can feel the plastic give, and it makes a plastic creaking sound. It just feels cheap. The dashes in the 07+ trucks have a MUCH nicer feel though.

That is the 95-99 dash panel.

Looks very slick in there! Although those are the 01-07 crew cab seats.

is there a build thread on that truck?

This is the one I have seen before too. It was on ebay for a while, not sure if it ever sold, seems like it had a duramax too?

Had a 350 Vortec.

Edit- I've also never seen a diesel with that itty bitty exhaust.
