2) I've bought from that ebay seller and I recommend them. Great people to work with. I bought a True Trac for my 9".

I bought them off of eBay. They are plastic. I put dynamat on the back of them to make them feel different. It's overkill on it but it's not as plasticky feeling now. I like them. They were the only ones I found that had scrolls to match the seat and didn't have wood grain on them.

Got the rest of the wiring for the stereo ran. Mounted the din box in the console. Painted the console. Put the carpet in the cab. Will start pulling the wiring through in a while.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Hi Chuck,

The truck is looking excellent. I wanted to know if you were going to be around next week on Thursday or Friday. I will be in Chattanooga but will have time to drive up and meet you if possible. I sent a message out to Rus also. Let me know and maybe we can meet up. I would love to see that beautiful truck in person.

Take care,
Tom

There's a swap meet/show at the Nashville fairgrounds on Saturday, the 28th. Maybe some of us could meet up there and walk around.

That might work for me too. I am driving back to Michigan on Saturday but maybe able to stop there for a while.

I will still plan to see you on Friday Chuck and congrats on 27 yrs

Take a break, you deserve it.

Very nice work on the console Chuck, I still need to do the same thing to mine. You didn't happen to save the part number for that radio box? Keep the pictures coming.

The radio box I ordered was a Metra Universal 99-9000. I just picked it and thought I would make it work.. There may be another thats easier to use. idk.

The antenna is a Tune Trapper #TT2C2. Its made for Harleys w/fairings. It has the mid fed wire and I should have gotten the end fed. That way it'd be easier to run up behind the seat.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I had a great lunch w/my nieces and went and bought another head unit that takes a 3.5 on the rear. This ones a pioneer. I got it in case I want to hook that IR repeater. I think the phone control will be fine but we'll see. This will be the first time I've hidden a stereo. not sure its worth all the trouble. I found a steering wheel control but not sure if I'm going to got that route either.
