Yes another 72 build thread

Just placed my order with Summit (close to home). Should be dropping in the 350 on Tue. It's only 1.5 hours from where I work so tomorrow when I get in I'll be driving to Summit.

I've decided to cut the dash, it's my truck and I think it would look better with the radio in the dash. I'll be looking for an AC dash in the meantime to install factory AC.

It is your choice but here's a little feedback. I'm all for modernizing these trucks, however... I have a cut dash and I wish I didn't.

The idea is great to have a nice DIN player in there but controlling a new style Ipod/USB headunit mounted center dash in a bouncy truck is a challenge. I'm going to move my head unit to a Tuffy center console to provide better control and better theft protection. All my music is radio, ipod and usb stick now so the need for discs is minimal.

I think it would be super cool to have cranking tunes but when people look in they just see the stock AM/FM dash. Have you seen this touch screen dash install? Really nice set up. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=370004

I agree snowblind, I just wanted someone to talk me out of it. I have a pretty clean dash now (once I get the glove box and ash tray changed out) and I really want to keep that appearance.

I'm going to try all other options as well as the center console myself.

Thanks for the info.

Just got off the phone with Summit, shipping my stuff today should see it by Wen. I wanted it for Mon, that would give me 3 1/2 day's to get it in. Now I have to take my time and get it all painted and mount all the extras and wait to install it next Tue/Wen. Oh well. lol

I told myself I wouldn't take the top off until I had the motor in and replaced the body mounts........well, I couldn't resist. The body mounts wern't to bad and the weather was calling me to come out and play, lol......







The front snaps are for a custom made grill cover the PO had made. I have that cover, pretty nice and good quality.

Some bling for the new motor......





Still waiting on the motor to get here. Tomorrow....
