Everything looks good, the only thing I would probably replace would be gas tank switch. Other than that, truck is looks nice and clean.

Re: new parts new parts!!!

looks really good. Where did you get your dash?
Those are some nice kick panels for the speakers. Where could a person find those?

Glad to see you got a good fitting dash after your first one failed to fit. Looking good!

Re: new parts new parts!!!

the dash i picked up at the local chevy dealership

the kickpanels i picked up on this board from a member a few years back. they are just the qlogic brand panels. crutchfield, etc will have them in stock.

Re: new parts new parts!!!

Sweet, you going to do the recessed mounted gauges like Mike did? What's up on the headers? I thought you had a pair of elites already. Looks like Santa came early this year!

i have a set of elite shorties. since i'm not daily driving it anymore, i figured i would go with the long tubes to gain a little more power


i'm still undecided on how i'm gonna do the gauges. i would love to do it like mikes, but i'm afraid i'll screw something up and make it look like crap. i also got the painless wiring kit for it all so the wiring wont be to bad to do.

Re: new parts new parts!!!

those headers hang low enough to plow fields.... you may want to order full length chevelle headers cuz they tuck up very nicely.

Everything else looks sweet!

Ah, but those are perfect for un-muffled side exhaust, this was one of the things I considered doing to my truck but my headers are tucked way up behind the frame rails - maybe I got the Chevelle long-tube headers you mention?
