What non 73/87 parts have you swapped into your squarebody?

What did the brake master cylinder all entail? Anything difficult or pretty self explanatory once it comes apart? You use the booster as well? I'm considering yanking the brake booster/master cyl off my donor 03 Silverado. Bc my c10 needs one anyways, so might as well? Some guy used a s10 fluid reservoir as well. Smaller/ more sleek looking instead of bulky apple juice jug. [emoji2369]

It was as straightforward as it gets. Removed old, installed new, bled, that's it.

I have an AX-15 5 speed manual out of a 1995 2wd Dodge Dakota. It was a big upgrade from the 3 speed!

Now that one is near the top of the list of non 73-87 parts!

Lets just say the frame, sheetmetal, bumpers and glass (except rear sliding window) are stock. Everything else, yes I mean absolutely everything, is later model GM or aftermarket. Go ahead ask me about any of it.

There's a lot more to a truck than sheet metal, bumpers and glass... When you say absolutely everything else is aftermarket/ newerGM, that sounds like a lot. What do you have going on? You mean even the column/levers, dash, seats, door panels, headliner, mirrors, wheels, suspension, axles, transmission, engine, driveshafts, etc... sounds like a ton of work. Don't make us beg- please do explain all that's been put into this shell of a truck.

I could never imagine swapping a halfway decent part for something that I knew was gonna fail. Like, "this chick's pu ssy isn't tight enough for me, I know, I'll swap it out with some 65 year old hooker's ass". 80s GMs didn't exactly have the best wiring out there, but I couldn't imagine a Chrysler ANYTHING being wired better than a GM. When it fails do you plan to get a harness from a Jaguar? lol

Pretty much. Yep. Everything you mentioned except door panels and seats. And lots more you didn't mention.
