The truck is nearing completion!!

All that was in my plans for my 67, right down to the color. I would like to see the finished truck, project copper head is what got me started on these things.

Yes. We did do some significant cutting on the Dodge mounts to lower the height. Then welded on new tabs to run bolts through the floor. An of course we placed reinforcements under the cab. A few dry fits before we got it right. Well worth the time though.

Column is from a mid 80's suburban. Steering wheel is from a mid 90's GM. Everything works but the cruise and int wipers. one of my winter projects is to get the wipers working from the column.

I bought a belkin Bluetooth reciever, use RCA wires that change to 3.5mm jack and plug the RCA wires into the amp and the 3.5mm jack to the belkin reciever and that's pretty much it, then sync it to your smart phone and enjoy the music. It's mounted under my seat but if I remove my seat ill take pics of the setup

That column looks like it's all metal, the one in my '91 Suburban has a cheesey plastic cover from below the tilt mechanism to the dash, when I looked at it, it didn't seem like it would look very good, yours looks nice.

Thanks. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Not as nice as an IDIDIT column....but way less $. Had to do some bracket fabrication. It's a little wide right at the point where it meets the instrument bezel. So I have a textured rubber ring fitted around the column, (about the size of a sink drain gasket). It slides up to the bezel to hide the gap.
