sounds like a good plan!!

Yeah I'm going to try my best not to let the detailing get out of hand. Can't make any promises, but I'm pretty sure I can keep the cab on the frame!
I made a trip to the local Pull-A-Part saturday morning, and scored some parts. Joe231 and his wife were there and helped me pull some, and most importantly helped me carry them parts around. I'll get some pics of them tomorrow when I'm off. Here's a list of what I got.
1) Factory tach gauge cluster out of a 81 Crew Cab.
2) 85-87 Grill in really good shape. Just needed some of the chrome trim pieces, but the whole thing was in good shape.
3) Steering column with no wipers on the column, and it also had a 88-94 Chevy steering wheel that I was looking for.
4) Headliner board.
5) Plastic spacer for the factory steering wheel so the horn will work properly.
I got the few things that I was wanting to change. Primarily in the interior, whenever I get to it.
