Re: Long time viewer, first time poster!!

FYI, a buddy of mine and myself went to a local junkyard, and found the cluster w/o gauges (newer Malibu) the center dash piece id GMC Envoy, the column is early 90's Chevy van, the seats and console are mid 2000's Grand Prix......Im thinking Explorer diff 8.8, and 5.3 vortec, back by th400...(TH400 b/c I already have a freshly rebuilt one) and this is def a budget project.....
