Sorry about the bad luck on the trim. Rest of the truck looks fantastic. Glad you're still around!

Re: Ice cream getter

Nice to see another Michigan project. Any of you guys ever make it to the Woodward cruise? What's up on the deaver springs, that application isn't posted on their site. I remember considering them for my k10 also, did you just have to have them made? I'll be more interested in road handling than off-road.

Btw my only problem with your truck is its exactly the way I want mine, and I'm far from it. One of my favorites!

Thanks for the compliment. I've never been to Woodward but it looks like a good time and it is on my bucket list. I ordered my springs over the phone. Never actually looked on their website for them. On the road they do ride very nice.

Re: Ice cream getter

Just refreshed myself on some of this build. I was wondering, where did you install the switches for you front seat heaters ?

Re: Ice cream getter

Actually another: How are you liking your Classic Instruments panel now that you have driven some with it? I'm thinking of going that route. Any more pics of it?
Thanks again.

Re: Ice cream getter

I mounted the switches in the front ash tray. See post 187. Sorry I'm on a new iPad and don't have any pictures loaded. I have zero complaints regarding the cluster.

Re: Ice cream getter

Thanks for the post reference. I missed it going through the 250+. I am assuming you used the AAW Update series and not Factory Fit. Is that correct? Is there a lot of custom modifications required on the harness or how much is correct lengths and terminated?
