not in "there" yet .... I'm going to build a new dash , using the old one .. heres where i'm at with the dash .

original dash with cover



mocking up the cluster with OE cover removed



tabs welded , and ready for a new skin

 

That looks sweet!

 

thanks ... I will build a fiberglass bace for the dash cover , then foam it , and i'm going to wrap it in tan leather .

 

started "cleaning" up the wiring .. being I'm almost done with the wiring .. I want to start "wraping" the systems



.

 

This truck is going to look so b****en when your finished. I'm gonna keep checking in on this. Nice work so far!

 

Thanks for the props ... I will be sure to keep posting ..

 

so ... plans have changed .. for paint and interior .


RED (kind of candy .. but base/clear ) Exterior , and Grey fabric interior W/Black accents ..


.

 

I will come steal that when you are done...........lol


Keep us updated man!!

 

you wont be able to , unless you bring a tow ! .. no way you be able to start it ! .... and I WONT be going into that detail !!!! :finger:

 

so a little bit more today ....

I got the dome lamp/rear view mirror "fit" and wired



and almost done the wiring .. only things left now are the :

1. radiator cooling FAN
2. amp guage
3. boost guage
4. o/p guage .... and any other guage I might "think" I will need

everything else is DONE !
I know it dosnt look very "nice " at the moment , I do still have to "pull " some pins and i'm going to wait untill I pull it out again to do so .. most of the final saudering is DONE .. again .. I want to wait for some of it untill pull the harness out , so I'm not working in such cramped quarters .



also working on the factory air box just about dont that ..




.

 

That thing is going to be the coolest s*** ever to grace this Earth. I know it's WAY to early to ask, but what type of stereo you planning on putting in?

 

not to early ...

working on a Kenwood with the GPS "flip" up 7" screen , with 2 - 10" subs in the rear floor ,2 amps , power storage , 6" door mids and tweets .. I might just do a rear DVD player as well .. we'll see !!

 

Sweet. Some of that would be pointless in mine.

 

guages done today



so all I have left to do is the engine fan ..

time to start welding in the floor ... yeah!!!



.

 

had an hour today ... so I thought I would start on the floors .. got them drilled , and fit again , and started to "plug" the holes ..

got a couple done and ran out of wire .. crap !! I hate when that happens



.

 

LOL. Ya I just picked up some wire for mine a couple days ago but haven't been in the shop it use it yet.

 

tacked !!!
still have to modify the seat crossmembers to fit (there just sitting there ) and weld the nuts before I can weld them in --- but kind of shows you the seat support .







I have also decided to wait to pull the cab off for inner paint ...
I'm thinking I want to paint the lower portion of the dash the same RED , so I'm going to now build the dash .


.

 

Red on the interior too? Who are you, Sammy Hagar?

Kidding, anyway that will look hot!

Why don't you throw some red LED tubes in there while your at it? I want to do something similar.

 

I've really enjoyed this thread!! seriously!!

 

Yeah, not every day you see a Trekker. Then all the mods he put in it and still is going to add. Truck gets hotter every time he posts something!
