Nice progress on the wiring. I know how time consuming that can be.

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
So I've been a little under the weather the last few weeks,, stupid cold,, turned in to stupid bronchitis,, made working on the truck kind of tough. I managed to get a little work done.
. I've been hauling the original carpet from the yukon around for the last six years hoping I could use it. So I did a trial fit and found that there were some pretty large humps that are molded in to the carpet. They are there for the heat tubes to travel under the carpet and front seats and blow on the people in the back seat. Since I don't need those tubes and I don't want soft humps in my carpet,, I decided to buy carpet for a 2001 pick up. . . The 2001 pick up carpet . . Bought it from Rock Auto,, I heard this brand is supposed to be pretty good. .

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
I started working on the dash too. Got a little discouraged with all the metal cutting I have to do,, so I bought a new throatless metal sheer. Hopefully that will speed things up!

Nice new carpet. Maybe someone on CL will want your old stuff. The new metal shear sounds like a good investment.

Used the shears today,,, worked great!!! (thanks eastwood!!) I'll post a pic later. The old carpet is serving me well as a semi-comforatable way of getting under the truck and cleaning up the frame. I do have a lot of stuff to do the CL thing with,, including the stock Yukon fuel tank. I finally made a decision ( after 6 years) The stock tank has got to go,, and the spare tire and the single exhaust!! The new custom built tank will go where the spare tire was and that will lend room for the new DUAL exhaust (what's a cool truck without dual exhaust??) .

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Wow. This is an insane swap. Way more than I could pull off. I'm going to have to check on wheel base lengths. Maybe a suburban would work for mine.

True that! I guess I could bring it more in to the cab,,, but I like the roominess of keeping it close to to the windshield. . . I like the way you think!! . Quote:
Hey Trixxterr,, thanks for joining the fun!! My original idea was to build a Suburban on a newer chassis,, but when I seen how closely the wheelbase of a Yukon/Tahoe matched up with the wheelbase of a shortbox,, plans changed!! .

Re: "TANGERINE" (C20 to K10) (LWB to SWB) (CST/MOD) (5.3)
Okay,, I'm back,, and I found my camera! So I spent a lot of time last year cleaning all the rust off the frame. I don't know why it had so much RUST!! The donor Yukon came from North Idaho,, where they do not salt the roads,, so,, beats me why so much rust. Anyway,, I also welded up a lot of the "tie down" holes in the frame too.

I also got rid of the factory fuel tank and installed a custom made beauty. The factory cross member in front of the tank wasn't going to cut it,, so I cut it out and built a new one.

I started to build the frame work for the bed but it looked like the tops of the shock mounts were just a little too tall and might interfere,, so I modified them with strength in mind.

Trying to use a new online photo storage,,, but it doesn't seem to be working. I think the photo's file size is too large. I'm trying to use Flickr,, just don't know how to re-size the photo's with that site.
