The dash pad is fromjustdashes.com and it uses small autometer gauges.Gary Kinikon and his son Cody are building a new 3 gauge panel for me right now using a factory tach speedo and fuel gauge only,the air ride stuff on the dash was abandoned years ago when i switched to a ride sensor type air ride with the controller in the glove box.I am on my way to Scotts I will take a better dash photo today.

Any details on the interior, the seats and more pictures?

Re: 68 Lowrider updates
 

I agree...trim really sets it off!!!

Looks great!

Re: 68 Lowrider updates
 

Sweet truck! I love the interior, and the addition of the 67-68 side trim made it even better! Joseph

Re: 68 Lowrider updates
 

That trim makes that truck look sweet was undecided if I wanted to go back with it on my truck You just made up my mind lol thanks. And could you give some info on the seat is it factory reworked?

Re: 68 Lowrider updates
 

Yesterday the door panels and accesories were removed so they could bolt the exterior trim on.It was all put back together yesterday eve.I will take more interior pictures monday. the seat is a 89 chevy out of a C/K single cab truck. the top of the frame was clipped to keep it out of the window and the foam was reshaped so it did not look like a stock 89 seat. The center arm rest was also removed from the frame.A skirt was added on the bottom so you cant see the amp and sub under the seat.The air ride equipment ,tank ,compressor and valves are behind the seat where the gas tank was and is covered by a carpet panel that looks like the tank is still there.
