What a nice job your doing lostwages!!! Tilt, bezel/gauges are super!!! What kind of dash pad is that? I put in a new "Dashes Direct" repo last fall and don't like the way it installed and don't think I would buy another one, later Doug

thanks guys, im getting excited now, the dash pad is a stock pad i just found some vynil that matched my steering wheel and covered it in that. The pedals are from lokar, i wish i would have got the bigger ones but these will work. Mudder, the first cruise in was the other night, guess i didnt make the deadline, lol. Oh i did see your truck in the mag, congrats, i looks great as always.

Hey, Did you just weld the brake pedal to the stock brake arm? I Have the lokar gas pedal and would like a matching brake pedal. Thanks.
