Wow I like the set-up, You did a good job on lining them up. Did you make them straight or slightly bowed?

Also picture #3 I see kitty paws lol.

[flamingbig10]

thanks 7 I planned on going centered but it didn't happen, this is kinda mock up if I like the lay out then the bezel will be fiber glassed and painted white and the kitten was watching me work but mostly playing with bugs, zip ties, electrical tape,and electrical connectors, and if you go 2 or three pages over you see the kittens sister laying on fishing poles that are hanging on the garage ceiling

Those gauges look nice man! Good work...as usual.

[flamingbig10]

thanks Gerald they work much better then the old ones

[americanmuscle]

those gauges are nice, they look alot like the classic style gauges I was looking at getting.

you have done wonders to this truck man, keep it up.

oh did you ever finish the dash?

[flamingbig10]

thanks. I was going for a hot rod look interior

[0331grunt]

Looks real good!

[flamingbig10]

thanks grunt, I will ordering a couple parts to fix what could be major problems, you don't need keys to start the truck so a cylinder should fix it, the left side turn signal canceler doesn't cancel any more and some time kills the left side brake light, the motor lacks in gete up a go and fuel economy so 5.3 is in order

[flamingbig10]

a few parts I kinda think about getting

Sweet! Those would look good on your truck!

[flamingbig10]

I'll have the steering wheel wrapped in the same blue as my door panels

[qu1cks1lver56]

looks good, where'd you get that shifter and headlight switch knob? and how hard were they to install?

[flamingbig10]

I got the billet stuff from eBay, headlight switch isn't to bad theres a small button with a spring on the switch, push it at the same time your pulling on the nob and rod and stick the new one in, the shifter, there's a pin on the column at the shifter ear and knock it out and install the new one

[flamingbig10]

I went ahead and ordered the steering wheel I'll need to go napa or Orielly's and get the ignition cylinder and turn signal canceler

[flamingbig10]

here a list of the few big improvements
the inner fenders and radiator support will be completely smoothed and shaved painte black maybe pearl white to match the exterior

[JohnC]

Oh yeah!

[Driveway Dreams]

Umm, that is old news...
I can't wait to see your ls swap Aaron. It is really gonna fit your trucks theme well. And a matching white engine bay would look really good.

[flamingbig10]

at the indoor car show over the weekend

[Driveway Dreams]

Looks good man. Just wait, you get a 5.3 or 6.0 in there and it will really stick out to people. Not that they easily forget it now.

[flamingbig10]

thanks Gerald, the motor is going to be painted all black and the accessories painted silver then later on chrome, also a custom engine cover painted to match the truck

I just noticed you and I have the same grill/bezels (except my bezels are black to go with mine) and it looks tight on both of our trucks. Your porject came out real nice!
