Seeking Knowledge
Hello all,
Looking for thoughts, advice, cautions, etc ... on a project I am thinking of undertaking. Simply put, I want to take the cab off my dad's old work truck (47 GMC: straight 6, 6 volt electrical system, no bed... plus, it's been parked for a while collecting dust) and put it on my 2009 GMC Canyon Crew Cab ( V8, 4WD, 12 Volt electric, Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Anti lock brakes...)
I want the modern day power plant with the old school memories of riding with my Dad. Sappy? Maybe, but it is what it is.
I know I need to measure the wheel base and will need to redo the steering column and will be searching for old school looking gauges that are 12 volt because I want to keep the look of the interior.
Any advice or thoughts would be great.
Thanks, Ed
