This Upcoming Years Mod List For My Crew Cab

Dual stainless catback exhaust (I need to install a heat shield for the canister behind the fuel tank & factory tailpipe mount bracket in the left frame rail)

225x60x16 tires

HPPlll (mainly to correct for the tire size)

Gather parts necessary to do a floor shift w/ console like this bravada. (so far I only have the door switch trim)

Looks good, Jim!

Just seems like a lot of work just to have the floor shift. It's been 10 month since I traded my ZR2 and I have just recently stopped reaching for floor shift after doing it for 7 yrs

Grab the radio controls for the steering wheel too, when you eliminate the column shifter.

Did they have any of the inlay on the dash as well? I just glanced at one while checking RPO codes for a friend. I thought there was something around the glove box area? Might be imagining things though

Will those controls connect to our radios? I thought they may only connect to the Bose system.
I've been looking at Bravada pics on ebay... the only trim in wood is the switches & console, none in the rear seat or anywhere else.

S-10 warehouse on Ebay has my name , when he gets graphite in he's to let me know. I do want the column w/ wheel, bag & all ready to bolt in.
My past experience with Corvette restoration has me brainwashed into saving all old parts that I remove, incase it becomes collectable

I have my spare air box all cut but haven't found belting yet.

I thought I saw a thread somewhere on how to do it, on another forum. I'll see if I can find the link.

If you run out of options for belting, send me a PM, I may have a source for you

Donor vehicle was the chevy monte Carlo/Lumina, but Pontiac grand prix, grand am, Bonneville, Firebird would have worked too. In our situation, we needed the donor vehicle's steering wheel and airbag (wheel was shaped differently from the B-body wheel and took a different airbag), and the coil (Stock was airbag wiring only, donor was airbag plus radio controls (ingition, signal, lights, ground)). Once we did the stuff in the column (install coil and wheel), all that was left was to install the yellow signal wire into the radio (C3 pin 14).

this is the link to the impala SS home page that details the info... steering wheel radio control page

It just might be possible.

There are a few guys in our B-Body club that have done this. I believe they used the Bonneville wheel, but only because it was the closest match to the Impala SS interior color. I personally like the black Monte Carlo wheel better.
