Planing stage of custom interior, Several questions, brainstorming ideas.

[Balzer]

Ok my first question is for those who have swapped a 95+ dash into a 94- truck. Will the 95+ HAVC controls work on the 94-? I would like to intergrate the rotary knob style controls.

Has anyone used aftermarket HAVC controls such as dakota digital?

 

[Balzer]

I guess I could let ya'll know of my idea a little bit. I want to completely redesign the dash and most likely use digital gauges. If I could figure it out I would love to have an all black dash that didnt have anything on it but when you turn the key on the gauges would light up. another thought would be an IPAD intergration where the IPAD was the only display and controls, like, everything was controlled by the IPAD including climate controls and windows, door locks, lights, ect. wouldnt that be cool. But I dont have the money to pay someone to do that or the knowhow to do it myself.

It would be really cool to use servos and doors over things like sterio and AC vents so when you turn it on everything opens but when it was off it would just be a blank dash.

Sorry if its not very clear and kinda "dreaming" but thats whats on my mind today.............. (maybe because I watched Tron legacy the other day????) LMFAO

Most if not all of the 95 stuff is different then the 96+ stuff. This is because it was when they had the new interior but old engine still.

So has anyone done a custom fiberglass dash? door pannels? anything of the like? I just feel the 88-94 interior is dated, I think it was when it was built. LOL I do like the 95-99 interior, however if Im going through that much work id rather do something custom and 1 off.

I haven't smootheed my dash yet, but it's coming soon, I love that look, all slick and painted.

I need to look into the hvac wiring or dig for the diagram on the swap. When I build my console the newer 96+ style and my head unit are going in it.

Why don't you just locate it down where the stock equalizer is like that one guy did?

 

[Devs93]

tierd of reaching over that far plus if i gotta lengthen the wire I might as well put it in the consolde. im thinking I may put it on the side towards the bottom though for a more sleek look. 1bdgmc has a buddy with a badass yellow obs that has hvac controls like that its pretty sweet. Ill try n find a pic of it.

 

[454SSguy]

sounds awesome.

I have thought it would be cool to put the HAVC in an overhead console........
