Alright, the dash tear down has begun!

Tore down my dash to rebuild it just about, cutomizing a gauge cluster I bought from Cochino12, just waiting for it to arrive, hopefully it will get here on monday since it didn't come yesterday, i'm going to chrome paint the back side and put blue bulbs in it, not doing the LED conversion though, kinda want to but don't wanna go through all the work.

Anyway while the dash is out the windshield is gonna get replaced because it leaks and has some chips in it anyway and the dash pad needs to be off to remove the antenna.

Re-wiring my head unit because its been acting funny and putting new 3.5" speakers in the dash with bass blockers and i'm going to solder ALL the wires this time. The PO used like a 10 awg splicer to crimp a 16 awg wire and its all buggered up and theres an inline fuse that needs to come out since my head unit has a built in fuse.

Anyway heres the pics, I really wanna replace the dash pad, but I can't afford a new one right now with everything else.

Also going to put carpet in it after I rust proof the floor and paint it, going with what the factory would have installed being a dark red, should look great and increase the value of my truck quite a bit!
