Thanks!

At one time I had the truck shaved door handles etc, but the dash is the only one that remains and will. I love the look over the dash pad.

You guys are very talented...I especially like the dash pad delete.

The only custom touch on my ride is the cup holder:

Late 90's truck corded reel, under hood light

Aftermarket 40/20/40 custom seat

Mounted an underdash am/fm, cassette/cd

Added factory tach, tow hooks, factory am/fm all correct factory options

Line-ex bed spray & moved in-cab tank to under the bed with wheel well filler

Used 73-80 styled tow hooks for "rear" tow hooks

Added 4-core radiator and overflow windshield washer styled tank



Don't have all the pics in the computer but here's a couple.

Re: lets see your custom touches
Couple pics of the tow hooks, underdash/corner speakers, under hood light.

The corner speaker mounts are from board member "bigblock73", great set up but will ONLY work if in-cab tank is moved. Great product and fit like a glove.

The rear tow hooks are GM factory 73-80 hooks. Turned the hooks with the "J" opening to the front of the truck so tow strap won't slip off. Got lucky, they had almost the exact same mounting dimensions as my rear step bumper. Just had to ream the bolt holes ever so slightly. Also a pic of the rear bumper that I had Line-ex sprayed along with the bed.

Under hood light comes in really handy. Mounted in the corner above the heater core box and ran the cable forward between the fender and inner wheel well.
