Unfortunately I talked my wife into trading her five window off for a motor home when we moved from Maine down here to Oklahoma. Now we are about to build her another pickup for her, this time we have a 51 Chevy short box that we want to mount onto a 98 Tahoe frame. Actually it's the complete power train, 350cid vortec with a 4L60 tranny. We stripped her 51 cab assembly off of an old 1 ton frame farm truck, and the bed came from a trailer. We stripped the body from a 98 Tahoe that had some wiring problems and didn't have any papers so now it's going to have a new life. Yes we saved every part ie: master cylinder and boost pump,etc. and every piece of wiring harness, we could so as to have it if needed for this build. QUESTION is has anyone ever done a build like this and how much modification to the cab and engine area do we have to make? We saved all the body mounts off of the 51's frame, where can I find a picture of a 51 frame to use for locations on the Tahoes frame to place these mounts. ANY and ALL HELP/Input will be greatly appreciated. We are doing this on an extremely limited budget, but alot of love for the truck and plenty of time.
