GTO Buckets

Post by grittenhou »

Anyone here running 04-06 GTO buckets? If so, what mods (if any) were needed? Thanks.

A friend did it to his 13. I’ll see if he’ll chime in.

I'm not concerned about airbags. Curious what your friend's experience is/was. Thanks.

I used the Caprice frames and motors, the GTO wiring. You have to just make a plug for the power and ground. You’ll need a diode to turn the airbag light off. It’s kinda tough to get the gto module to fit behind the caprice plastics but take your time and make some cuts and you’ll be good. Best mod I’ve ever done.
