It don't look like much, but, this was a PIA . It takes strong fingers to tug, push and pull the firewall mat into place.

Good job. Don’t forget the insulation up under the dash top

Looking good Larry!

I have been detailing parts. I got the brake and clutch pedal assembly done. I suppose I could have cleaned the bench and swept the floor before, but I was excited.

**IronCanine** · 10-21-2021, 12:36 AM

Top notch work Larry.

Machined parts are clear coated, upper pedals are natural cast, and black is semi gloss.

Those plastic plugs are very difficult to install...... I found a place that had rubber plugs and they worked much better .....

I managed to save most of the original rubber plugs, and I have been hoarding them for years. The plastic ones are a pita.

I think the upper cowl insulation has finally been shipped, so I can get back on the dash area.

**davischevy** · 12-30-2021, 10:38 PM

I got back on this project today. The top of the dash should have been painted first , but, I forgot, so, I spent 2 hours masking so I could do it now.

The upper cowl insulation came in, so I can start installing dash components now.

**IronCanine** · 12-31-2021, 12:09 AM

Looks nice. They painted it after at the factory. I hope you didn't tape it up better than they would have!

I have a question I realize the dash should be painted not get the glare did you pick a color and just use a flat paint or is that factory correct ? I have to look at mine to see but I an almost sure my yellow truck has a grayish dash ...when I get back at it the interior will be black with black dash pad ...your truck is a work of art hats off to your attention to detail...its fun and rewarding
thanks
Jess

Yes, I took pictures, and matched what was in the truck originally.

I took some saddle interior parts to my paint guy and he mixed some dye to match. That is subjective, because there are several different tones of saddle in the parts. We matched the back side of the door panels more than anything.

I added flattener to the top of dash paint. I have a picture on another computer with the original top of dash colors.

Did your truck have a Sandlewood dash pad? We have a 72 with a parchment interior and it had a sandlewood dash pad, which is a grayish color.

My 72 super has a black dash pad and black top of dash.
