kool beans!!

So at about 1am I started cutting out more metal... I decided I am going to cover and move the heater controls and move the ignition switch....It looks alot cleaner! I am going to put the ignition switch in the lower right hand corner of the glove box door I am putting over the factory gauge cluster area.. as for the heater controls go...... Maybe the glovebox... Maybe I'll fab up something.. The truck will not have a/c so I really wont need to access them every time I drive the truck... I hardly ever use them in my 68.. I need to do some work on my Nova today but maybe I will have more pics out later today or tomorrow.... Thanks for all your feedback!!

caminokid · 10-13-2007, 10:18 AM

I guess if I was to do that...I would put the stereo in the glove box door in front of ya. At least if you are looking at it...you can still see the road. Alot of accidents happened cause people trying to change stations. Just an idea. It does look cool.

*Shane* · 10-13-2007, 11:18 AM

very different. i like different. good work.

71HUGGER396 · 10-13-2007, 11:50 AM

I like it alot! Where are you located at, I'm in Sarver, home of Lernerville Race Track. Have you been there?

c10addict · 10-13-2007, 02:05 PM

World of Outlaws... Hell Ya!! I live in sewickley... 10 min from Pgh... Probably seen you at a show or two... I drive the red 68 in my avitar..

71HUGGER396 · 10-13-2007, 03:01 PM

I will keep on eye out for that truck. Do you go to all the Outlaw shows?

c10addict · 10-13-2007, 03:19 PM

I try to.. I didnt get to any this year though... I am always at the flashlightdrags in Zeli though.... Forum check out www.alteredgas.com It is all grudge races against who you pick on a airport runway... Good Times!!

**special-K** · 10-13-2007, 07:28 PM

Speaking of centered gauges in hotrods...

jkaylor68gmc · 10-13-2007, 07:57 PM

Nice work, I like both of your gauge combos. Thats some good fab work.

c10addict · 10-15-2007, 11:16 PM

Jkaylor68gmc how are you linked to truck builder mag? Its a cool mag (esp since they put a pic of my 68 in there from Charlotte Good Guys last year) but I can't hardly find it in the pittsburgh area...

**special-K** · 10-16-2007, 05:31 AM

Subscribe!!! I know I need to

c10addict · 10-18-2007, 09:04 PM

So has anyone built custom heater cotrols for our trucks??? I have come up with a few options outside of the factory control that seem like they will work good but I always love to see what others have done...

OLDIRON69 · 10-18-2007, 11:19 PM

C10addict-

The mod is very cool! I'm wanting to do something different to my '69.....yours is very different and that I like!

killer71 · 04-07-2008, 04:18 PM

updates please!

**thelonerife** · 04-08-2008, 05:49 AM

That wouldn't work for me. My wife would be looking right at it the whole time telling me to slow down. UH NO.

72BlckButy · 04-08-2008, 03:21 PM

That thing is awesome, but I completely understand not having time to work on your truck. We're in the process of looking for land, just got married Sept '06, and it just seems like one thing after another.

Good luck with the engagement, the house, the truck, the Nova, and anything else you have going on...

c10addict · 04-08-2008, 05:21 PM

Actually I did get the frame pretty much done.. It was in another post.. KP notch, Air ride and 20" steel wheels...

killer71 · 04-16-2008, 04:22 PM

Wedding plans are 4 girls! I say get busy on the truck!

69long"n"low · 04-16-2008, 05:00 PM

why not put all your controls in the center console and keep the dash completely clean
