not that I'm aware of.
If you like the steering wheel more it will swap, but you might need to change the pins that activate the indicator cancelling.

Check the bucket seats, someone told me they are a straight swap. Never tried it though. Unless you already have better seats in your sierra

Take the jack. You can never have enough car jacks

.
Fuel cap? Loose one, then you have a spare locker ready.
Maybe all the key cylinders, incase you ever want to change your keys...
Any good stereo stuff in it?
Gear stick knob; or am I being a knob?
Any semi/expensive metals, collect them and take them for scrap. If you really cant get rid of the transmission, the case is allot of scrap alluminium. I got $5 for my old 1300 head, so a FWD transmission housing must be at least $15?
Try advertising on a swift forum as wrecking or sell as whole. If its really cheap they could bite. I know I found one swift forum in Australia once, so they're out there.
I'm impressed, I couldn't think of any of that yesterday.

I have heard that Swift front brake lines will fit a Sierra and are 50mm longer. Up to you if you use secondhand brake lines though. Jas

I thought the sought after ones were the rear which are super long, but have a steel crimped fitting 1/2 way along them to attach to the hose to the trailing arm or something. I think this applies to later model swifts only though??
This clip fits perfectly between the knuckle and the axle and crimps the line shut beautifully.
My views on unknown second hand lines are well known. Do it at your own risk and recongnise the life you take might not be your own. Sorry had to say that.

The steel fitting in the middle of the flexi hose is for it to clip into the (front)strut. Jas.

OK, someone told me they were rear, I heve never removed one from a swift myself.
