Complete Dash Swap?

I have always kind of like the dash and gauge cluster on the 92-97 trucks. So, I was windering, how hard would it be to swap all of it? The dash, gauge cluster, stereo, heating control, everything. Maybe even door panels also. My goal would basically be to have a complete 92-97 interior. If I can find a good donor truck, how hard would this be to do? O and also I would want to install the tilt steering column and new steering wheel. Is this easily possible with some time? The wiring is going to be the hard part I know. The tank selector and controls are in completely different places. But would all of the gauges hook right back up with no difficulty?

Forget it ... It's TOUGH to do, all the dash mounts are different.

Though it has been done.

-Enjoy

I wouldn't start into this on a truck i needed to use very often. this kinda stuff is what you do on the project that can stay in the garage for a month if you get frustrated or break something you need while taking stuff apart
