I have a great running 1994 Chevrolet 1500 series 1/2 4x4 that I want to put my 57 GMC 2 Ton Cab and fenders on.
I have a shop and I restore/modify old cars & trucks quite a bit (about 2 or 3 a year)...which is why I'm putting this question out there - I (kind of) know what I'm in for, but I would like to know if anyone has tried it.
I know the frame rails on the 94 are quite a bit wider than the 57...and that may be my biggest challenge.
My 94 has a 13' wheelbase so that should work great..
The steering column & steering rod will be pretty easy to modify on the 94 to fit into the 57 cab…
Looks like there will be plenty of room on the 57 firewall to mount the brake MC and Booster….and I’ll have to swap over the brake pedal and bracket…that should not be a problem either.
The 57 has plenty of room in the engine bay to house the (350 ci engine) and the 4l60e transmission will also fit without problems.
My biggest concern is the wider frame rails – has anyone tackled this yet and if so…how did you do it ? I may just have to make my own cab mounts and go with it....
Is there anything else I’m overlooking ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Mike
