![]() How do you plan to attach it to your cut radio opening? My dash was also unfortunately cut for a newer stereo by the previous owner. That plate, color matched hugger orange and I would be good to go! I think there would be a lot of interest from people with cut original dashes....just saying ![]() Good job. Sam |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's actually suspension disassembly week for me. Removed both front spindles for disc conversion and tore both ball joint boots on the right side, then discovered that the upper cross shaft bushings were worn, so next up is removing the upper control arms and replacing the bushings. Yay!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I drove it to work, then the gas station, then home. It's pulling daily driver duty this week while the new Ram is at the body shop.
