My newest project h3 body on 1st gen tahoe.

[Sbc350_h3]

Aloha fam. So I have had the itch to do something custom again and I originally was looking to do a body swap on a k5 frame since they are straight axle but them are to hard to come by here in hawaii for a decent price. So in my impatience I bought a lifted 1st gen 4 door tahoe. I've already started to unbolt and unhook everything to remove the body. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the tahoe body fully removed. I know that the tahoe is not straight axle but atleast now I'll have the access to suspension parts easier than the h3. The tahoe is lifted 6 inches for now lol. And has posi rear end aswell and is the 4x4 version.

Easiest way is to use the Tapatalk app and log into the forum that way. Tapatalk will host the pics for you.

at first, i laughed at & completely dismissed the idea, but the dimensions & wheelbase are surprisingly similar when you consider the H3's width accounts for the flares & how far out the hubs sit from centerline (where the tahoe's are flush with the body sides)

Very interesting. With the body off, now's the time for all the upgrades.

Havent had much time to work on here but here she is on the tahoe chassis I welded up most the mounts tied in brakes and got the motor running just gotta go through the wiring and pull out the wires I no longer need in the harness.
