yes it can be done OP, anything can be done with enough money. By the time you are done you will be so upside down....... well they dont even have an analogy for that one.

Of course it can be done, like this guy says, for enough money. I saw a custom car show episode once where they put the entire engine, tranny, and FULL interior from a new dodge challenger, into a restored 69 exterior.

Possible? yes. But it also took a full crew of custom hod rod experts weeks and weeks of custom fabbing to do so.

I believe the arc of the front of the dash is different as well as the mounting locations. You's probably have to rebuild the substructure to properly anchor the replacement dash. I would check the electrical and HVAC routing under there as well. I know they moved the seat position a little bit and the front doors aren't the same size.

This is one of those things that would take more patience than money, although you'd probably have to buy a donor truck or have access to one for spare parts. Modification has to be something you really want to do, otherwise what's the point?

That's not a mod I'd want to do, but I can appreciate your desire to do it. Good luck with the project. Lookng forward to seeing some pics in the future.

The 15 isn't all that much different from a 13/14 mechanically, but every angle of the body and interior are going to be pretty far apart.
Sounds like a huge headache!

Yeah, probably not gonna happen. Idk, depends on if I can find a cheap donor truck. Probably just gonna end up wrapping the rest of the dash, or painting it. Thanks for the input guys.
