1949 Chevy 3100 Build Thread

The trique vents are small enough to fit on either side of the radio. Plan is to run 2 vents along with the windshield defroster and lowers. With the vents taking up the space on either side of the radio, I will probably have to fabricate a dash extension to accommodate the 4 knob streamline controller and ignition switch and maybe a 12v charger/cigarette lighter. Was thinking about going with a ididit keyed ignition but that's only available with the tilt feature and drives the price up $400 over the straight column. I kinda like the straight column for its simplicity and cleanness. Either way it will have a column shift. Once I have the wiper kit installed I will know if the repop radio will fit. Here is the one I'm looking at. Pricey but it slides right into the original spot.
