Gutting the dash on an '83 diesel K5

[goatboy66]

As the thread says, I'm gutting the interior and, on the dash, I'm taking it down to the firewall.
I'm going to attach brackets for various items and install a gun safe and a rifle/shotgun mount, put in a sheet metal plate for switches for the different accessories, lights, et al.

It's a bug-out vehicle guys.
Not a crawler, just a rig that can handle trails but still be a street-legal.

Anyone seen anything like this?
Got any advice, thoughts, pics, links?

Thanks-
Dave.
