CompleatRedneck · 05-16-2008, 02:32 PM

its gonna have an aggressive drop on it when finished. eventually bagged, but not right now.

bigwhite93 · 05-17-2008, 07:35 AM

WOW looks like it would be a lot easier than I thought. I could have swore that the newer trucks where an inch or two wider.

CompleatRedneck · 05-17-2008, 11:49 PM

yea they are a little wider, but i a compensatin.

cordatta · 05-18-2008, 09:03 PM

nice progress.

CompleatRedneck · 05-19-2008, 03:00 PM

Put a the steering column in, not permanently, the steering wheel is gonna stick out too far, so i think i will buy an aftermarket wheel, once i finish.

HERe is how i like to drive, six foot two does not do well super close to the steering wheel

I put some foam in the gaps, trimmed it and am gonna probably go over it with either some clay or filler, glass over it, so it meets the stock a pillar covers, that i have already added tweeters to.

looking nice dude, can't wait to see the finished product

cordatta · 05-19-2008, 05:30 PM

you going to run the one piece windows for this thing? We put them in my brother in laws truck and it really cleans it up nicely.

CompleatRedneck · 05-19-2008, 08:09 PM

Yea those are the ****. I am just leaving them out till i Can afford them. How hard were they to install. think i could do the paint, and not worry about installing them?

aztekas69 · 05-20-2008, 11:08 AM

Lookn good...can't wait to see the finished project...

CodyZ71 · 05-20-2008, 04:29 PM

What about door panels?

CompleatRedneck · 05-20-2008, 07:49 PM

Stockers But a little diff. originally i had some gauges in the door panels, and they did not fit with this dash. Here are the panels.

I will have to move the gauges, hopefully the symbols can stay though.
THanks for all the compliments ya'll

cordatta · 05-20-2008, 08:19 PM

the one piece windows were still in low production numbers at the time of the install. The fit was aight but the weatherstripping could have been better. But they look killer. I would buy them and install them before paint though. Just to check the fit we had to widen the window channel a bit to get it to fit right.

CompleatRedneck · 05-20-2008, 08:51 PM

thanks for the advice cord

cordatta · 05-20-2008, 09:14 PM
