It's been a while since I have seen an 8 track stereo in someone's vehicle. There's probably quite a few people that wouldn't know what it is. Do you have LED bulbs in your dash cluster?

Trying very hard to stick to the “Ol Skool build” that I started with Cap. 8 track falls in that category for me. I even went so far as to make a mount for the dash speaker. It holds 2- 4.25” coaxial speakers. Sounds like my old truck I drove in high school. Just couldn’t bring myself to cut holes in the doors, kick panels or anywhere else.
Yes I did the LED bulbs in the dash. I used the warm white color so they would be close to original. Just brighter with less power draw and less heat. Got them from Super bright LED.

Got the computer fixed finally but lost most of the pictures I didn't load to the P-bucket account.. oh well we got some and the rest we can always take more

Excuse the dis-organization and some of the pics out of order..

back half of the truck being worked on.
The thought here is to clean up everything under the bed and repaint. first was removal of the bed.
I used my pressure washer with a sand blaster attachment. Worked really well..... Cut in a "C" notch, new springs, move the shocks outboard, Diff cover, inspect gears new oil, brake lines, exhaust cut outs, adjustable panhard rod, modify panhard rod mount cross member to make room for the new exhaust.


I drilled holes above the upper spring mount to make installation easier.






Cut the back edge off the crossmember to give more clearance for the exhaust to run over the axle























Its getting there!!!
