I've done a swap putting a 91 body on a 95 due to a roll over. I held it in the air the same way with 4x4 wood, and used a floor jack and blocks of wood to lift it. I had to literally swap every single harness due to differences in plugs, and also swapped the entire hvac. The donor body was an auto so I also had to swap the clutch and master over, and the core support was different so that was cut off and welded back to the new donor. All in it took 4, 10 hour days of non stop rushing work. Crazy part is it wasn't even for me, I built it for my father in law to use as a hunting rig. Good job on getting through it.
I agree on the lift issue I have a 98 stock and rides great I also have a 4 inch lifted 95 and rides somewhat terrible but it's to much work to remove lift
Hehe, I didn’t really record how many hours it took but it was a LONG time. Obviously I didn’t have a lift so that made it take longer. It took me a solid two weeks straight working on it plus a few more days on and off. I will say a lot of that is because I kept the newer components off my donor frame which meant I had to swap all the electronics in the truck and hvac so if you just swap the frame itself it wouldn’t take near as long. I also don’t always work the fastest either and I really had no idea what I was doing, but that’s DIY so it’s all a learning curve at some point.

Is the hood sold?
Well done! How long (hours) did it take you?
