Well you better plan on doing door panels to. Or your pin switches won't line up & your interior lights will stay on.(I've only done the door panels) If I'm not mistaken their is a lot of info on fullsizechevy.com about doing the swap and if you do the door panels you need everything from the donor doors. And the wiring plugs don't match up at all.

Door panels you have to swap out all the guts of the door(reglators, rods for the the door handles)but if you swap out the dash wiring then maybe everything will plug up. It took me all day to figure out that wiring the first time I could probly do it in a couple of hours now.

all the plugs. the entire harness is different. there is a bracket welded to the firewall for the steering column you will need as well if you are running the column too. it is a pain in the butt swap, but it looks much better than the 93 stuff. later, brian

if you plan on using your 93 colum its no real big deal... the pain in the ass is makin the newer colum mount in there... its about 6" shorter
