Yesterday I got the gauges wired up on cluster, would of got the indicator, and dash lights wired up and that would of been done, but my parts from summit came so had to look at them and installed the water pump pulley and the window crank handles would installed the crank pulley but it looks like I have to get shorter belts, and a guy came over to buy a few parts and he admired my truck for about hour,

Looks great flamingbig10!!! Those couple extra inches taken away made a big difference in the stance. Joe

I figured out why my wipers would only work on slow had a bad ground, I was Tired of hiting my knee on my radio so I moved it where the factory a/c controls, then I drove my truck it was a liitle ocword with the shifter lever, so I decided to leave it alone, until I know what I really want. I was given a 89-91 bezel that I used since past owner messed up the metal dash were the radio was since I didn't notice it when my truck was getting body work, I mad a piece of diamond plate that covered up the radio opening just didn't take any pics
this was before it was tightened down

also took a bunch of pics of my heater under the dash
