Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Well thanks for putting that bug in my ear...
Looks great. I don't care for that gen of dash, i prefer the 03-07 classic but it looks GOOD You got any build pictures and i am not very very curious as to how you did it... I am most interested in what your options for the HVAC are... Is the wiring harness for all that (the climate control it self) separate and independent of the rest of the truck or do you have to kinda build it scratch? |

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
I would like to bounce some thing off you...
I REALLY want to do this... but i don't know what would be easier for the sake of the dash/console/seats Buy two cabs and do a floor pan/fire wall swap... or do what you have done and try to graph the two together piece by piece? Your far enough into this project you will be able to tell me what you think of the first option. Granted its ALOT more welding, possible "more" work but i am more concerned about the over all fit and finish of every thing... Your thoughts? |

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Advice taken, thank you.
Yes, HVAC is your a/c and heater... Do you need to have the avalanche ECM in there as well to control every thing? As for the 04 dash, what about that dish doesnt' make it fit... too wide for the cab or it doesn't match the windshield line as nice? |

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
when i say that i would not try to swap the fire wall and floor thats just me. if i would have listen to everyone about me wanting to swap a 07 dash into a 85 i would have never tryed... if you think it would be cleaner and you can pull it off go for it! you wont know if you never try. i know i can get that dash to work in my truck and i know im going to run into some BIG bumps in the road but it will work and will be sick when its done... to me anyways.

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
I like that dash! Didn't even think about it fitting so well. I was going to go with a 02-06 but seeing this just changed my mind.

Easy fix, i'd fiberglass that dip in my dash and bring it up to the same level as the rest of the dash. I never cared for it to much to begin with... But thank you for the heads up cause i would have never thought of that till i started into it... BTW, what are you doing for the rear seat? Most guys i see use the back seat out of an extended cab, but do you think there is enough room to put two buckets back there, matching the front? |

Your truck's looking good. Sorry we didn't get much time to talk when you were down here.

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Man first the dash and now the drivetrain. Wish I had your luck!. Is it 5.3 or 6.0?

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
5.3 is a good motor. It will have more power than the vortech!

Re: 85 crew cab with 97 vortex motor and dash
Just think of it as a good tear down stop to the pr-runner project!
