Lets play "Hide the air ride controls"

[Coach529]

From the beginning I have always wanted the interior of "Henry" to appear very close to stock.....stock seat, stock wheel and column, etc.

About the only thing visible from the windows is additional temp gauge that I am using since I added the SBC.

With the addition of air ride this winter, I am looking for creative ways to hide 4 manual air switches (Dloe's) and 3 gauges.

Behind the speaker grill was my first idea......but I am running a 23" Lokar shifter and if the truck is in park the grill will not open up to 90 degree's. The glove box was another idea........but I would have to angle the gauges to see them from the drivers seat......and would have to lean across the seat to use the switches......

Another idea was making a metal cup holder and putting the gauges in the bottom of them. I would just need to find a place to hide the switches......

Anybody have any ideas??

I did the behind the speaker grill which worked well. My shifter wasn't as tall as the one you are using though. Any possibility of going above the windshield and putting them in something that looks like it belongs? Wouldn't be noticable looking from the outside.

The cupholder is a good idea.

I've seen some things behind the radio delete panel.

I've seen a few people put the switches in the seat riser.

I second the radio delete plate idea. I am planning the same deal this winter as far as the air ride. My plans are a tilting delete plate, not sure how to do it yet but that's the fun of it.

At this point I am thinking a cup holder hiding the gauges and switches in the seat riser.....not sure on exact location yet. I have to keep them both fairly close together to avoid air lines all over the cab........
