    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Air conditioning is such a royal pain in the ass. Did anyone else know that in '94 Chevy switched from standard to metric threads on all the a/c components? I had been really hoping that all I would have to purchase for this truck would be the compressor suction and discharge manifold hoses...

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Richard, I finally dove into this swap this week as I'm off work and the weather is nice. I'm reading what you wrote here and I'm looking at the two columns and I can't make what you wrote jive with what I see. I can't imagine any way I could chop and weld these in such a way that it'll retain...

    Door alignment issues

    I don't, but I can snag one tomorrow. The pins/bushings/etc were replaced last year and I had no trouble at all with the 3500HD doors after doing the pins/bushings.

    Door alignment issues

    I'm working on a 98 to 92 interior swap, and rather than swapping the door panels I'm swapping the doors from the 98 (they're in far better shape anyhow). However, I've run into a snag: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Z1BMwZf997J4RczZA The door is rubbing the fender very, very badly at both the...

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Trouble in paradise. The doors swapped over fine (I'd replaced the door pins/bushings last year so I was pretty aware of the process), but the 1500 door does not sit well. I'm starting a new thread on that, but a couple pics can't hurt. From: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yQnnb8NJrzhV1UtT6 To...

    PM me an offer and I'll most likely take it :)

    I'm actually swapping the entire doors across; the paint on the HD is in really rough shape and I can't stand the "West Coast" mirrors. Thanks for the double-check, though! I do appreciate it.

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Dumb question, but what goes in the hole next to the cigarette lighter/power ports? Feels like my donor is missing something. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2Qo8eHFM48xPDxrM9

    The Stupid Axle Questions Thread

    What's to go bad on the hub, though? I went through this recently on my 92 3500HD, I had about 1/4" of vertical play in the kingpin knuckle; in fixing that, I also replaced all the bearings and races so the hub is basically brand new now, I can't think of any reason you'd need to replace the hub...

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Ah well I wasn't planning on trying to make it fit, more of just seeing if I can put it in place just enough to be visible, supported by wires or something. I dunno. Or I'll go without until I can get the right cluster.

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    Yessir, 15k, I beam king pin front axle, Dana 80 rear. I'd seen reference that the HD had a different column but this didn't make a ton of sense to me since pretty much everything else in the cab is generic GMT400, so I really do appreciate the heads up. I'll be referring back to this post...

    Any chance you might have a diesel instrument cluster for a manual trans, 95-99?

    92 to 98 Dash Conversion

    I have a 92 diesel C3500HD w/ the 5 speed. I purchased a 1998 C1500 with a busted 4.3 V6 for a few pennies and my intention is to swap nearly the entire interior across. There are several threads on this, but I wanted to bring specific attention to a couple of things that may be unique to my...
