Newer than 06 dash swap

Not new here by any stretch. Just been busy with life and had to start a new account. Going to do either a turboed LS 5.3 or 6.0, 4L60E swap into my 78 K5 (has a 500hp 400 that I built and a 400 turbo but kills me on fuel!) and I am looking to swap in a newer Chevy dash and creature comforts into the Blazer. Heated seats, newer heater and air controls, etc. I know I know... Basically what my 05 GMC Sierra has. Bought the truck at an auction with only 80,000 miles and three years later it has been the best truck I have ever owned next in line to my many square bodies. Swore I'd never need them. But..... Got used to them and want the same in the Blazer. I am a seasoned builder and fabricator so no sweat there. I have seen the later 90's interiors. Just don't care for them. I have measured the dash on my 05 and it will get in the way of the window cranks. Don't know any body with a truck newer than 09 and just walking up to someone and saying, Hey can I measure your dash just seems a bit off. Has anyone here heard of, seen, or heard rumors on any swaps out of a newer than 06 truck into the square bodies? I was told about a diesel swap that has a newer dash but can not find it on the web. I am not scared of work but I do not want to spend 200 plus hours trying to fit a dash in the Blazer. Like to drive it too much. Pics, information, etc. would be greatly appreciated! I can go with the 05 dash if I swap over to power windows but anybody with them knows why I don't care to. Thanks guys!
