Re: Finally.

Your dash looks GREAT!!! Of course. And of course we all know you didn't just pop it in an call it good. Tell us more in detail of what took place in order to get that dash in there. Some of the photobucket photos wouldn't upload for me, so I feel left out. Like I Elmer out during a commercial an come back to see the ending credits. Thumbs up to ya, just don't leave me hanging please

Re: Finally.

Have you done anymore to the dash lately? I am curious to see how you filled in the spaces on each end. Also is the steering column centered on the gauge area? I can't tell from the pics.

Re: Finally.

I bought a dash and it will be waiting on me when I get home. My wife sent me a magazine that has an article about this mod. I inserted the link below.
http://www.motortopia.com/streettruc...712/#more-1712

Did you cut out all of the stock dash and then go from there?

Re: Finally.

WOW! That looks great! I'd love for my truck to be that color...
What's the deal with the rear bumper delete? I got a ticket for no front bumper in NorCal a long time ago. Had to take the car in to my local state patrol and show them I had put the bumper back on to avoid paying an expensive ticket.
