Anybody ever put a SWB Task Force on a Tahoe 4x4 Chassis? The frame is reasonably flat and the IFS with torsion bars looks easy to work around. Haven't bought chassis yet, any one better than others? Thanks


They named it Apache cause it has a patchy welded here and a patchy welded there.

Don't forget to take LOTSA pics. This sounds really interesting! Hope it works out as well as it sounds like it should. (but--do they make a Tahoe with a stick??)

Take lots of measurements. The track width might be too great on the Tahoe.
If that's not an issue, it sounds like a neat swap. Access to the complete donor vehicle is a big plus. Things like Steeribg collumn, master cylinder, etc are best when obtained on the cheap. I'm with Spedd, "take pictures!" Cheers. MV

I saw one at a swap meet last year. It had a 117" wheelbase, have to be shortened 3" to match my swb 114. The neighbor works for a towing place and they have a Tahoe fresh from the Mississippi River. Hoping to get my hands on it cheap.

If it turns out to be "too wide",why not use a 1-1/2 ton doghouse on it? Then it'd be just right. And I suspect you can buy over-wide rear fenders for stepsides,cantcha?
