It is also from the 99 tahoe. I bought the tahoe wrecked and used pretty much every part that I possibly could. On the wiper moter it was just a matter of turning how I wanted it, drilling new holes and making a piece of linkage to mate th 99 motor and the 74 wiper arm linkage. Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys, I've been lurking around here for a little while and just started posting. This weekend I am putting on the new wheels and tires and doing a little more work. The wheels I bought are the new GM 2500HD alloy wheels and tires. I hope they look good on it. I'll try to post some newer pics soon. Thanks again for the comments.

It wasnt to hard to get the dash in, I had to cut the old dash completly out though. It was spot welded across the top into the windshield frame. I cut it completly out leaving about a 1 inch lip and a 2 inch tab at both sides. Then i hung the new dash on those tabs, welded up brackets for the bottom and bolted it in. It has all been a lot of head scratchin, making things work, but none of it was too hard. Its also been fairly low budget too, which is nice.

The dash is awesome. I have never seen anything like that done before. I would have thought the airbags would be just about impossible to deal with. Are there just some sensors that you swapped over for the airbags?
Coverlay sells new door panels. They are the same ones sold in JC Whitney, but they are cheaper directly from Coverlay. I bought some for my truck. They look good, but they are kind of plain. There was also a thread on this board recently about a group buy from a company called Rodders, I believe. Their door panels looked pretty nice in the pictures. They might match your dash better. I am swapping a 60/40 power bench seat with center console out of a 98' into my 76'. I have the seats but haven't got around to fabricating brackets. Late model seats would look really cool in your truck with the new dash and all. |

Greenlee, The airbags are not operable at this time. I dont know if they ever will be but I want to stick one in there so it doesent look so bad. I suppose I could hook them up though, I'm of the opinion that anything is possible if you throw enough time and/or money at it. Generally the airbag system is kinda seperate from the pcm or body modules. They have a couple of impact sensors somewhere in the front, an airbag control module, then the airbags.

Dang! I wanna put one of those dashes in my truck... Not only does it look VERY cool, but it also has airbags!
Have you got any more pictures of this install?
