Before I get this painted I still have a few things to do. Replacing the pins and hinges today and putting in the new roller pins. I couldn't get the roller pin to drive in to save my life so we had to improvise once again. I used total automotive's hinge kit after seeing so many issues with doormans.

Got the doors done and the old dash ready to pull. I'm calling it a day, it's hot out there!:devil:

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
Looking good, back around post 22, you mentioned the door speakers. What did you do about the rears. Also how do the rear covers come off, I am looking to do mine and don't want to break them.
Are you removing the rear upper overloads? Thanks |
Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
man you are killing it in this heat in our part of the world!

I like the idea of bigger speakers in the rear doors. |

Old dash out. Had to put the defrost and air doors back in place since they were out on one side. The defrost door wasn't even hooked to the control arm. Took the air box apart so I could clean it out while i was there too.

Took the better part of the day, but the new dash is in and plugged up. I've got the rest of the components cleaned and bagged so it should go pretty quick from here.

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
Oh, crap, I forgot to mention...that dash pocket, you have to swap the airbag for the pocket while the dash is out. There are two (pretty much unreachable) fasteners at the top that require either Subaru spark plug hands or dash out.
Nice and clean looking dash! |

I took the original dash' s harness out and placed it in the new dash. I washed all the duct work out when I did that as well. Oh, and my wife's car is a subaru legacy. The 454 in my truck has loads of room to work compared to that for sure! |

Cool thanks! I've had some of both in the past but never tore into any of them.

OK thanks. That's what it looked like but I couldn't tell for sure.

I've been searching relentlessly for a leak on my passenger side. Took the cowl cover off and all ran water all through it with no water in the cab. Went to my windshield, same result.
Finally looked at my cab lights saw a crack in 1 and wala! Water in the cab! Also found the plug in back of my compressor off so i hooked it up and I've got air now too. |
Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
Two easy fixes. Can't beat that.

Got my parking brake cables swapped out, they were different lengths than the crew cab, and the luggage rack off the roof. I want a clean roof other than the clearance lamps. Last pic before paint is on and the bed too. The bed is already there and the truck will be in just a bit. Have a great labor day weekend all.

Re: 97 3500 454 4x4 project
what's the condition under the clearance lights?
Looking good so far. |
