That’s funny. I always wanted to add one since it had the right radio already.

Madkidd wanted to know what the truck weighed since the body swap. It was his Saab that I used as a donor and he said it felt lighter and more responsive when he drove it, so we weighed it at his dad's house with racing scales.

Since the ignition switch is in the center console, I wanted to hide it and make it look like a cup holder.

I bought a "stash can" online, drilled out a slot on the bottom and secured the ignition key with epoxy. The only key I have to carry is the door lock key.

Madkidd told me my rear turn signals weren't very bright, so I replaced the top tail lights with another set. They're definitely brighter.

And I wired in a wiper switch, since the wiper setup I'm using is controlled with all power outputs instead of completing ground circuits like the factory setup.
