99 Dash in 88-98

[Texas_Longhorn]

Has anyone done this swap. and before you ask yes i have sifted through 22 pages of search results to find on only 2 pics with the just mounted. i need wiring diagrams and mounting problems.


Thanks

the 99 dash is from a completely different body style but i suppose anything is possible with time and effort. I would say try your hand at turning the 88-94 into one of the dashes from the 95-98 line. Good luck on the swap and post some progress pics as you go.

99(Classic)? or 99 NBS? I'm sure the 99 classic wouldnt be different than the 95-98 OBS :looking:. But with the NBS..I wanna see some pictures of that :rolleyes: .

Why, what is so special about the NBS interior? I wouldn't do it, way too much work involved.

There was a post on here with pics a while back It was really sweet the way it was turning out too and Im even thinking about doing it to my 91

From the articles I have read on the swap the steering collumn is in a different location. With a stock dash the colomn won't line up with the dash and the hole in the fire wall. I have not done this myself so I don't know for sure.

There's that red k-1500 that has a full nbs interior and a d-max. Can't find pictures, but maybe someone else can.

edit: found it.

damn, that looks good. but i guess it depends on how much time and work is involved to make it worth it. unless its just a project truck then you could take all the time you want and it doesnt matter.

Would be a insane project. I thought about doing it before I did my 98 interior. Going to have huge problems with the blend motors for the heater box. Also going to have to run a body control module to make everything work... I think the stock ECM ties into it all also.. That should be no problem with a vortec engine though. Either way it will be an insane amount of work. I would love to have a 03+ dash.. But there are just way to many problems beyond mounting it.. that's the easiest part. Also need some custom A-pillars. Did I mention air box problems??? Nothing will line up.. all custom... or no heat and a/c.

That looks absolutely disgusting with the stock wheel and door panels. I prefer the stock interior to that.

Actually the stock air box lines up pretty close to the 02 dash inlet. Just need to make an adapter. I've put my truck on hold for a while since buying my 01 325i bmw but I'm starting to work on it again. First air ride then I'll eventually get back to the dash and interior. Mounting is a pain but I think the look is definetly worth the effort. Good luck!
