Looking good thou. Not something I would ever try.

The tahoe wheel base is 116 the pickup was 115

I'm using the 2001 cushions on the cab. The mounting location lines up with the framerail

That's explains why I saw what I thought was the same factory frame on the local Craigslist. At least I think I did...

Per that body mount nut, if that idea doesn't pan out I see a hole on the bottom of the frame that could be hogged open a bit and reinforced if necessary, you could possibly weld it thru the bottom or just use a socket and extension?

That's not a bad idea

Are you posting this all real time?? I.e. As its happening? If so this is pretty incredible that you've got it to this point in only a week or two. Looks like your doing excellent work. I've done a K/5 frame swap on my 3100 so I know first hand the amount of work this takes. Looks like your doing a great job!

The post where I cut up the tahoe was a week prior but everything else is real time. And thank you

i built the new steering shaft and installed the 2008 trailblazer ss brake booster and master cylinder

MARKDTN · 01-13-2016, 08:26 AM

Any updates on this? I was enjoying this one.

NurseBen · 01-14-2016, 01:10 AM

Yes, more please! I'm doing a similar swap but with a 2011 GMC Savana AWD van. I'm only using the chassis/running gear but have some questions for you. Looks like the track width of the van and Tahoe are fairly close, I believe the van is a few inches wider, have you run into any issues with wheels protruding from the fenders? Looks like your keeping the stock height, mine will be as low as possible so I'm anticipating fitment issues. Why did you redo your gas lines? I'm enjoying your build, keep the updates coming.

NurseBen · 01-14-2016, 01:12 AM

Oh and what did you use for the steering shaft. Thank you
