Kinda sucks that you took the time to search and post the links, but no info. You know what I got when I clicked on your links? More links! Other people that made the exact post as you just now. Still didn't find that much info on the subject.

HUD = pain in the ***; not worth it; etc. I tried it in my old Lumina Z34 swapped out of a newer GP and never got it to work.

I'd spend that money on strippers and beer. Maybe a comfy futon so as to avoid any contact with wifey. If contact with her were to happen, at least I had strippers and beer earlier. With HUD, you have a headache and no strippers OR beer.

My point is that this has been discussed before and since you didn't search, I searched for you.

The C5/C6 HUD won't work in the F-body, but there are companies that make aftermarket units that can be installed.

You had problems with that? I actually know a guy who had swapped the GP HUD into his 97 S-10, and it works perfectly... The HUD actually came out of a 1st gen w.

You didn't search for me You searched for the guy who started the thread. It was just kinda aggravating clicking a link, then clicking the link in that link, then clicking the link in the second link from the first link, etc etc. I did manage to see a picture though
