A big thanks to the members of this board.
Special thanks to you guys that helped me out over the last 2 years.
I'm about 95% complete now, need to tweak a few things here and there and come up with some type of after market sports mirrors for this thing. Any suggestions? |

Re: A big thanks to the members of this board.
This has probably been done and documented several times, but here's how us poor boys redo the guage clusters. I also found a good set of leather seats out of a 99 Buick Park Avenue and they were almost a direct bolt in, I'll try to add pics later.

Whoa man, you've done a fantastic job! That truck looks amazing. You must have spent many an afternoon and evening to get it to where it looks like that!
Good job! Keith |

Re: A big thanks to the members of this board.
I used the stock gmc mirrors but I cut 3 inches out of both the driver and the passenger side. Reweld, smooth them out and painted. Looks stock.
Nice color by the way, but I am biased. Steve

Re: A big thanks to the members of this board.
The seats ended up being the wrong color for what we went with, but based on the budget there going to be there for awhile.

Re: A big thanks to the members of this board.
Those mirrors look great! I think I'm gonna copy what you did with the gauges as well. That's the look I'm shootin for but i don't have money to buy new ones. Love the blue color, it looks great! Job well done!
Question-Did you repaint those yourself? And if you did, what did you do for the glass piece? Mine has this ugly green on it, and the numbers/letters are a weird light green/blue color.. Last edited by Trailrider95; 05-30-2011 at 04:57 PM. |
