Thats exactly what I have on my 77 now. I have the correct door and dash trim, but not a matching gauge bezel. I was curious how he got rid of the grain, but the pics answered that.

I looked at Hydro Graphics before because I had a local buddy that did it. He no longer does it, so I need a good source. It sounds like your guy might be the one to look to. I will check out his Facebook page?

Yes I wanted something a little different but that would keep that classic look but be different than all the others. So I have had other things in the past dipped so it was a no brainier. He did exactly what I wanted and pictured in my mind. Plus great great phone communication. Call and talk txt each other went over different grain patterns different base colors and he nailed it. I like stuff that matches so now it all will match. Check him out give him a call he is just like all of us a car/truck guy. Won't hurt to ask now will it lol.

Forgot he also mailed me sample cards he dipped and cleared. Just so I could make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Cause as I have found out with other projects pics are not the best representation of a color different lighting makes things look different. So I have him send me sample cards so I can match it up and fine tune it.

What have I been missing without these Bilstein shocks. Wow. I guess the hype is real. It amazes me how much better the ride is! I am sold on these babies!! Wow unreal. Now if the RideTech shocks are better than these I am in for a complete set!! But I don't know anyone with the ridetechs. And I don't see how they can be any better idk.

Custom battery tray lol. After the alignment it was hitting the hold down lip. Easy fix was to break out the BFH and bend lip up and add hold downs. I mint at a later time relocate it but no point it does not rub anymore!!

Part numbers for front and rear?

Interior parts look dope! Can't wait to see it back together!

Also, are you notched at all in the rear? Are you thinking about doing small bolt on notch to keep your bed floor or you looking into a mid height notch?

Thanks I will get those interior pieces today and get it all installed and post up some pics today.
The notch question. Well as UKNOWME sarcastically posted cause he had a buddy tell him I could be that low without a notch. Currently no I am not notched but I sure as hell need a notch. Badly. I have flip kit drop shackles and drop hangers. I am at 8" in the rear and I am running those little button bump stops. Between bump stops and rear axle I can get my thumb in between them. So depending on the road surface I do hit. I am not cutting or raising the bed up. Not doing that to my truck the inside of bed looks as good as the outside does. I will get a PB level 1 c notch the 2 piece setup they have. I should have already done the notch but I don't have a way to remove the bed and lift it. But I will figure it out. But I did have to buy a new angle grinder a nice azz Makita with a paddle trigger. I had to buy that to cut my new springs cause my old faithful grinder died after 10 yrs. So cutting the frame isn't a issue. Getting the bed off and not scratching it is my concern.

Haha. Tell your buddy who called BS on me that you got the pics. And yes you can be that low without a notch. But you still will hit. I just want you to worry about Bilstein smoothing your ride out. And getting the nose down. Lol!! Hit me up today about you know what haha.

Take a look here for several options. I was worried too, but this gave me lots of good info- Stand bed on end?

You will be truly impressed with the difference the sound dampener makes in your doors. Just be sure to clean the inner door skins and take your time with small strips.
