Custom wood bed with lights, tailgate, and color matching shift knob

Turbo1dr · 07-27-2014, 11:02 PM

Why doesn't anyone cut the dash for a 7" GPS/Radio/CD/DVD/Bluetooth/Telephone receiver? Is there not enough room behind it for one of those to fit? Just wondering why?

Please take no offense, I believe some around these parts would prefer to be shot than put that stuff in their rig.

But then again....

Vic Cook has modified his 67' for a "Double Din" sized radio for his dash....
check that out here:

For the navigation I could see depth being a possible issue or having to give up either your ashtray or ac vent or both

As for depth it wouldn't be hard to extend it outward really if that's what a guy wanted

I'm only embarrassing myself after posting behind jtp67-72 and ryanroo, but here is my junk. I'll definitely be stealing some ideas from the cool touches in this thread! Sorry for the washed out pics of the body...

kneesnthebreeze · 07-30-2014, 12:27 PM

replaced c10 emblem with punisher skulls, my squads "logo" in Iraq.

all done with lace made to look like a 40yr old decal

Yooper truck · 08-03-2014, 09:46 PM

My interior door panels were looking like they were 40+ years old.... so I used some laminate flooring to make new panels. I used some chrome pinch on molding around the edges so it had a finished look. Now the door panels have a similar look to my oak bed.

i have a little one to ad. love all of the others. keep em coming!!!

Blue GMC · 08-05-2014, 09:00 PM

Built the front end the way it should have been for a 71 GMC. Just enough chrome to blind you when I am behind you.

mud.man.rj · 08-05-2014, 10:53 PM

The chrome is nice, the new ones are just plastic in your rear view mirror.

Tinkermc · 08-04-2014, 03:53 PM

HO70 why not put it in the ashtray? Like the use of gas tank space, sounds like a good idea.

I think he's talking about amps and subs.

El Campo · 08-04-2014, 08:15 PM

Haven't done a single one

But if I had theoretically done any I think this would be the most useful one hypthetically. A tow hook mounted low enough that you can hook onto it without messing up bumper or scratching anything.

mud.man.rj · 08-04-2014, 08:29 PM

Cool thread guys, a lot of great ideas.
