OHC install on son's '95 Cheyenne

[Ray Dawson]

Just did the OHC install on my son's '95 Cheyenne yesterday. I found an OHC console from a local junkyard only to find that is the longer one and would not fit in his truck. Got lucky and found a shorter one at another junkyard. Once we cleaned and painted the headliner from another donor truck, I wired the map lights to the dome light wiring, modified the OHC to sit flush with the headliner, and installed it using 1 1/2" sheet metal screws in the back and the factory one up front.

I think it turned out pretty good and it was good to be out working with my son alongside me getting his hands dirty on his truck.

Looks good. In the front area where rear a/c controls would be in a suburban, I've seen people put digital gauges up there, looked cool. I wonder if a scan gauge 2 would fit up there.

Not sure, was thinking of maybe a trans cooler gauge after I figure why his tranny is leaking... I've seen other guys place one on the A pillar in a gauge pod

Pillar gauges are nice. My add on gauges recommend varies based on engine, but don't trust the factory oil pressure and temperature gauges readings are always off. If you tow with it a trans temp is wise investment.

what did you find the short console in? I did not realize there was a long and a short.

looks good!

It was in a 2000ish model regular cab at a local junk yard. I still have the long one with the DIC.

The short comes in GMT400s afaik. The long is S10 type.
