Yeah so far that is the plan.. Trying to find the best way to do it. The problem is, I haven't exactly decided what location I want to fix the column to as in where the steering wheel will sit in the cab.

Still working on it. I am hoping to get another set of eyes on it soon to help me trouble shoot.

I am wanting to get away from bench seat and go to buckets, still haven't decided on which seats I will be using.


Also for those who have went from a 16 gal tank to a 20 gal. What changes with the hose/filler neck? I am assuming they need to be shorter? It isn't an immediate concern but if I need to get parts on order I would like to get on that. I am trying to get the final expense of parts ordered so if I see an oppportunity where I can take a few days off work to speed up progress, I wold like to be able to jump on that.

Still a really long ways to go...
-Integrate 87 door wiring, headlights, bed wiring... Wipers??
-Figure out how to mount Steering column
-Modify shafts to connect to gearbox
-Mount to inside & outside cab?
-Switch to GMC steering wheel/delete airbag?/Swap to 03+ steering wheel
-Mounting 01 Instrument cluster??
-build/buy custom instrument cluster surround
-Mount fuse box/panels & pcm and route all wiring
-Mount Air Intake Box to PS battery trey
-Make the 01 master cylinder/booster fit on 87 cab?
-AC?????????
-Assemble truck
-Who knows what else
