Heres what it looks like now. I also patched a section that I wasn't happy with from my previous work.
I now have the option of getting a hot rod bezel or just installing the insturments rite in the dash.
Thanks again Kabwe for your old dash.
Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

Great work Kim. Keep after it!

Kabwe · 09-22-2009, 12:16 PM

Looks great, really smooth out. As far as your thank you, you are completely welcome, but you don't have to thank me, seeing you put it to good use is thanks enough. Great work Kim.

Thank you for sharing that mod, I think it fits your trucks theme.

oregondunerz · 09-22-2009, 12:19 PM

Looks great! I like the idea of getting rid of the hump in the dash. Looks alot cleaner! Nice work...

CAL 58 GMC · 09-22-2009, 10:06 PM

Looks Cool man!! I can't wait to see what it's going to look like when it's done!

eviltwin · 09-24-2009, 03:50 PM

Kabwe · 10-08-2009, 12:28 PM

Hey Kim,

I just looked over you whole build thread again because I had some time and I just wanted you to know you are doing a great job. Keep it up man.

I was going to look at Dave's again "Cal 58 GMC" but that build is a novel.lol

This build has some awesome fab work. Are you going to keep the 57 grill? Those are my favorite TF grills.

Nice work on your truck. Subscribing, I wanna keep watching.

Thanks.
I'm going to keep it with some changes.
I like the look of the center oval floating in space so that's what I am going to try and achieve.

Kim57 · 10-08-2009, 02:50 PM

Here's a quick up-date.
I had to come up with a new core support so this is what I did.
I took a piece of 2" OD tube and cut it down. Then I welded some nuts on the back of a couple of washers that fit inside the tube and welded them in.
They are just tacked on my frame horns for now. Will finish after I make sure everything fits as it should.

Amazing work thus far. Keep it up.

Kim57 · 11-11-2009, 05:25 PM

Time for some updating.
I had to repair the lower corner on my pass. door.
I'm to cheap to by the whole lower door skin for such a small piece so I made my own.
The pics are self explanatory.

Kabwe · 10-08-2009, 04:14 PM

Good idea, looking great

Kabwe · 11-11-2009, 06:00 PM

Once again good job, keep up the good work.

Tri5Nerd · 11-11-2009, 07:07 PM

Doing great Kim, don't stop. Did you mount your hydroboost?

Tri5

Kim57 · 11-12-2009, 01:26 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Still not mounted yet. I need to get some more work done to the cab before I take it off the frame. It's just to hard for me to try and crawl around under it to do the fab work.
Hope to get to that point in the next couple of weeks.

I need to break mine down and get the big nut off the front then I can mount mine.

There was a detailed post a couple of months ago by another member on that procedure. He broke it out as a separate thread after someone ask the same question as you in his build thread. Can't remember who it was, search might turn it up.
