Installing the OH console



Pulled the seats, wired the truck for the power/heated Denali seats


Cleaning up a bit of underhood wiring




Grille & bumper removal. Wired in the temp sensor for the OH console, replaced the corner lights with OEM amber ones, and installed a new TD bumper.




How we left it last weekend.



Just as a summary, here is what David, my father and myself collectively accomplished this past weekend.

- Removed entire dash, door panels, seats and carpet for cleaning
- Wired in mirror harness (truck had west coast mirrors) with power/heated/clearance/signal mirrors. Use factory rear defrost HVAC controls for the heated mirrors
- Installed OH console with compass and temp computer
- Modified map lights to function as dome lights
- Wired in stereo plug (was missing) and installed Delco CD stereo
- Pre-wiring for autodim mirror
- Pre-wiring for steering wheel audio controls
- Pre-wiring for power heated seats
- Cleaned up PO's past wiring endeavors (lots of misc crap that was shoddily done)
- Fixed battery cables
- Fixed wiper washers
- Installed new diesel bumper
- Installed OEM amber corners


And in the upcoming weeks, we will be going back, once more parts are sourced and time allows. Here is the future plans.
- Wire in lighting for bradford flatbed
- Wire 7-way trailer plug
- 4-high headlights
- Fog lights in bumper
- Denali leather seats and grey pickup center console
- Kodiak door handles
- Stainless trim rings & GMC center caps.
