Thanks everyone yes nothing like the old Cadillacs

 

Awesome Cadillac. I love those caps. What are you gonna do for a speedometer? Cable X box?

 

Going to use Dakota digital they have a universal unit that will take up the whole space were the speedo and idiot lights were in the stock bezel with A LIL WORK

 

And how much is "A LIL WORK?"

 

A lil more then I would like to have to do but not enough to stop me from doing it.

 

Ended up going with an Intellitronix builder kit for the gauges gave me a lil more flexibility on fitment

 

Nice build!

 

I haven't seen those before, what did you mount them to in order to get them in the bezel?

I kind of like the white ones.

 

They come with a pice of backing that I cut to fit in the stock gauge panel

 

Out with the old in with new

 

Working on the new heat&air after hours of trying to get new replacement parts to run the stock ac I just said F it everything in the car is modern might as well do the ac too

 

Was happy to see the stock steering wheel fit the new column now off to get rapped in leather cleaned up all the chrome come out nice

 

Nice, what column did you end up going with?

 

It's a ididit chrome 30" universal tilt no key no shifter. they couldn't tell me if the stock steering wheel was going to work with it but it does so good news cause i didn't want to change the look of the car just make everything modern

 

Got this radio to go in it too and keeps that Cadillac look

 

Great work on your project so far... I was planning on going up here soon but after reading this thread I joined just so I could start asking some questions. I'm getting ready to start a 5.3/th400 swap into my 64 Fleetwood Limo. What did you do about drive shaft? I'm assuming yours had the hydramatic stock too. Also would be interested in pics of where you put your motor mounts on the frame

 

Had the front half drive shaft ( from trans to center support ) lengthened 4in balanced new center bearing and U joints my car had the hydramatic jet away trans and 390 engine

 

awesome I found a front drive shaft from a 65 limo that originally came with the turbo 400 but I didn't know if that length would work. I see you have a regular throttle cable going up over the intake what did you do to adapt that to the rod that originally came on the car? also still trying to figure out my plan as to what to do about a return line for the fuel did you change both the supply and add the return line. What did you do at the tank? Sorry for so many questions you just seem to have the knowledge and you know for a fact just like I do that you post anything like this on any of the Cadillac sites they tell you should have a Cadillac motor in it and won't give you any help

 

I did a new throttle pedal in it and I did run a new supply and return line as well as building a sump into stock fuel tank. What engine are you planing to do

 

I'm planning on picking up a 5.3 next week. Trying to keep the budget pretty low on the swap so I still have money for my suspension. I'm assuming the truck pan hangs too low? I'm anxious to see how your vintage air setup works as well I'm getting ready to rip all of mine out since it's a limo it has front and rear AC and heat
