Going to upholster the VA one and go old school chrome triple bezel for water, trans temp and oil pressure. Reviewed wiring install instructions and Alan Horvaths site.

Made up templates of the cab inside back to figure out what I want. Here is a sketch of what I'm aiming for. Truck will be used so need place for 6x9 speakers on the sides, 12" woofer to give my wife some ammo to remind me I'm half-deaf, and lots of misc. storage compartments. Also going with folding rod, gun, plan, etc. racks.
Good ideas you got there Orrie, I think that the box for the 12" sub is going to be a little bigger than you expect if you want to get the true bass from it. I like the idea of the pockets on the sides for storage. I would also think about moving the 6x9 a little higher and put the pockets lower due to getting the sound closer to you listening level.
