Looks good.
Word of advice on that stereo...do NOT drop the face plate. Mine isn't worh ca-ca now, most of the LCDs are dead now.

Benrs86 · 06-11-2002, 10:16 PM

dang, that looks awesome!

*racedvl* · 06-11-2002, 10:55 PM

I wish my dash looked that good.

*Zkast* · 06-11-2002, 11:04 PM

Wow that's clean. Nice lookin color too

I'm getting the resto bug real bad here lol.

Mike C · 06-11-2002, 11:18 PM

Awesome! Makes me want to do mine now. You stop that. I've got no time!

I am restoring my 68 swb truck and i was wonderingn where did you get your parts at. Did you paint you dash red or it was already done. Give me some tips at Playobjyg81@hotmail.com

Patrick Sullivan · 06-11-2002, 11:36 PM

Looks great.. reassures me that a custom stereo CAN look good in the dash.. was getting leery of chopping the old AM radio out of there.

Once I get a new tranny (

), the interior comes next!

If you only had factory air, then you could lose what skin you have left on your knuckles! That pic brings back some bad memories for me, but in the end it was all well worth it. Looks like you're doing a good job there. Not by any chance doin' a little cussin' once in a while are ya?

imaindianoutlaw · 06-12-2002, 08:56 AM

Puttin a gauge cluster in with a hammer? :p

tom hand · 06-12-2002, 09:33 AM

There is no job on these thrucks that can be performed without a hammer. You can tell it is a delicate job because the hammer is so small. LOL LOOKS GREAT!

Smooth68 · 06-12-2002, 10:37 AM

And whats up with that cushy blanket on the floor?

All kidding aside, that dash looks sweet. Looks like you are really making an effort to make everything right. Lets see some pics of the whole truck.

flyin99 · 06-12-2002, 04:37 PM

LOL......well, the blanket just keeps it a little more comfortable to sit in...as for the hammer..............it's for throwin, when I run out of words!!.....sometimes you just have to vent in different ways.....LOL..

Stepside · 06-12-2002, 06:47 PM

Looks great to me. I'm building the cluster now. I hope it turns out that nice.

Thats look nice. Was that already painted red when you got it or did you paint it red. I have been hoping to be able to keep my dash with the original paint... only scratches are under the ignition switch and thats just gonna happen again and again from the keys hanging down.
