I would use the motor, tranny and t-case, plus all the wireing.  It will take longer to do but you will know that you have all the wires and plugs that you will need.  I live in Newberg also and would be able to give you some help if you would like.  Just pm me.  If you have any parts left over after you are done I may be interested in some for my truck.

nice help is always a bonus,  So does everything bolt right to the existing mounts, and do i have to use the new cluster or can i use the old one

[toyo487]

I would use the cluster out of the 94 so it just plugs right in, This way you know everything works.  I just did the swap from an 87 to an 85 and we transfered EVERYTHING  we didn't want any problems.  Also you will have to use the Gas tank, because they changed the fuel pump and wiring.  I would change every piece of wire so you don't have to do any cutting and patching of wires.  When we did it it took us 2 days and everything worked the first time.  I think that it will or should bolt right up, but there may be some minor fabing.  What part of Newberg do you live in?  I live on Elliott Rd a block from Burgerville.
