Re: miSSed opportunity

I totally gutted the 1989 cab down to the bare shell only leaving the rear window glass in place.

Cleaned every surface completely then lined it with sound deadener.

Installed a passenger side grab handle over the door that I snagged from a donor at the wrecking yard. Installed rivet nuts into the roof structure.

Installed a decent set of speakers into the rear B-pillars while I was back there since they are quite a pain to access later.

Installed an electrochromatic compass temp mirror out of a late 90's Suburban and ran the wires down the A-pillar. Installed the temp sensor on the hood latch support like on the Suburban and made all the connections. Works great. The auto-dimming feature is nice to have.

Since the 89 had some lame poor fitting aftermarket speaker headliner that I was always hitting my head on I decided to put a stock headliner into it. I cut down the extended cab headliner from the 94 K2500 and presto regular cab headliner in the correct oxblood red interior color.
