    Default Series III LHD 4cyl dash into a RHD 6cyl?

    I have a donor '73 88 4cyl truck. I am converting my RHD 6cyl to LHD and also swapping the old motor for an Isuzu 4bd1t turbo diesel. ( I will be putting the 2.6 engine and tranny up for sale soon).

    Will the 4cyl dash swap in to the 6cyl without much difficulty? I removed the upper portion of the 4cyl dash this morning.

    Thanks everyone.

    It should be a direct swap but you will have to use the 4 cyl. transmission cover.

    Thanks Jim,

    I am putting a dodge NV4500 5-speed behind the Isuzu motor, so I have to custom fab the tranny tunnel cover. I appreciate the feedback..
