It matches pretty good with the paint. My plan was to pick a vendor and stick with them for all interior parts. Even if it is wrong, my hope is that it will be consistently wrong. It went on pretty good but did take a little work to get it to sit flat. The threads of the bolts like to catch on the dash and make that area sit high. I wouldn't want to install one with parts installed on/under the dash, that's for sure.

Re: '68 c10 build

Well, it looks like my truck building adventure will be slowing a bit. My hours at work are changing to a normal schedule which will prevent me from working at my dad's during the morning. It kind of sucks in that regard but it is much better for me and my family. I will continue to post when I can.

I did manage to get the steering column installed today and all of the glass came in this afternoon.

Re: '68 c10 build

Today we got the windshield installed, as well as the passenger side door glass, felt, door handle/lock. The glass is a tempered gray glass and is a very nice product. I should have the wing window back together tomorrow and in the truck.
