Finally got the dash/cluster in the burb. I actually started it up.

thehitchmaster · 03-15-2010, 08:54 PM

All I can say is wow. I think there is a grain of dirt on the core support lol

STOCKISH · 03-15-2010, 08:56 PM

Looks great. Very nice work.

Restrorob · 03-15-2010, 08:58 PM

Looks like new !!!

Question though, Do you plan on putting a cheek in each seat and steer with the two joy sticks ?

RuralRoute C-30 · 03-15-2010, 09:03 PM

That definitely exceeds the"WOW" factor! It does actually look showroom perfect!

Very nice,
Mark

PhilaTruck · 03-15-2010, 09:10 PM

Nice fat BB in there. That baby looks good!

*Stitch* · 03-15-2010, 09:42 PM

it's a twin stick for the transfer case...very cool and very loooooooooooooowwwwww granny gear...lol

diponyou · 03-15-2010, 10:00 PM

now you just need to give it a good cleaning and it wont look half bad.

haha jk man looks great

TLoz · 03-15-2010, 10:21 PM

Thanks for the comments. Still got alot of work to do on it. Notice the stick holding the core support out of the fan. Found the steering wheel after the pictures. Got a new A/C compressor and hoses coming. Having trouble with the windshield. I had a local company attempt to install after I worked on it for two hours. They ended up breaking it. I found another for $40 in a junkyard. They tried again tonight and ended up cutting the OEM weatherstrip. They're going to hunt down another OEM strip and attempt it again, free of charge. Got another sending unit coming from Classic. The first one was defective. Really great guys there. Still need the rear drive shaft. Going to stop by a local place and get one made. The dog house is all done and has been fitted up, so that should go quick. So much easier to work on it without dealing with the hod and fenders. Later, Tom

TLoz · 03-15-2010, 10:23 PM

It's an automatic (TH400)with twin sticks for the transfer case.

raws67 · 03-15-2010, 10:35 PM

Man that looks great I love the color combo. I feel your pain with the windshield I have two broken ones laying in the bed of my truck for that same reason. I am calling a glass shop and letting them break the next one!

*BGRAFX* · 03-15-2010, 10:16 PM

Looks good, but I'm confused why you have 2 floor shifters and 1 on the column?

spinem · 03-15-2010, 10:59 PM

wow!! clean truck.

f.monroe · 03-15-2010, 11:07 PM

That looks great . Can you give the details on the dash panel . The woodgrain looks nice on it . Did you cover the panel yourself?
