BC models in old wow

[eaterofsouls]

I am experimenting with my own private server and I have been looking all over for a tutorial on how I could go about extracting BC armor models and swapping it with old wow armor models i.e. Making lock T3 look like lock T5 I have the BC installed in a separate folder just looking how I could go about doing this.

I don't want to edit a model just change them on my screen.

im not 100% sure i understand this so ill give my best answer.

Take the .m2 of w/e version of it u want (BC im assuming), convert to 3ds, then from 3ds to m2. Theres tons of m2 to 3ds, and a couple of posts have the 3ds to m2
