I like those a lot, thanks for the info. Have you seen Restomod air? They have some different style vents that might fit what you’re trying to do with your cluster.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

Yes sir I have! They are a little on the spendy side. Average circle vent is over 100 each. I am really thinking about getting two of the Diablo rectangle vents though for the pass side.

Looks a lot like the FiTech system I purchased ! Should fit right in with your covers..............

You have any pictures?

So I test fitted tubz and fenders to find out that my intake was really close to the hood. I think it will hit actually.

Man, you have really pushed this thing along. Good work.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

Thanks. Moving along nice and slow.Been working on getting all the wiring ran and hid. Had may fenders and tubz off sitting on the floor. My youngest came in the garage and ran into the fender and it fell over and hit a block right on the body line. Made a really nice dent and cracked the paint. Have to fix the dent and repaint the fender. Kids, got to love them.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

So after I get done repainting the fender. The front clip will be ready to put on an align. Then to move onto the interior. Going to pick up my seats tomorrow. Had them redone to look like the rest of the TMI stuff I got.

My son asked me to take him to a concert. It is his first one. I asked who he wanted to see. He said he wanted to see FFDP. Just so happens that i love this kind of music. So I looked for a place close and we got tickets. Got us the best tickets I could get without him being in harm's way. He's kind of a little guy. We had to endure a 5 hour road trip and some very nasty weather at the show. But, we got to see Breaking Benjamin and FFDP. Both put on a really good show. We got him some cool concert Tees. What was really awesome is that we got to meet Ivan. Dude seems really cool.

I got my stereo, got a couple amps, 2 8's, some 6.5's and some 4x10s. Got the console and sub box completed. That took a lot longer than I wanted. But, I feel it turned out pretty good. Getting it covered now. Hopefully get it back later this week. Meanwhile I'm going to work on my dash insert. Couple pics.

Cool first concert. The console is looking pretty sweet.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

pulled everything out while console and box were getting covered to finish sound deadening.

Very very nice!

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

I typically hate center consoles but that thing is looking great. Works very well with those seats. Awesome work.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

Thank you.

Re: 83/84 swb stepside long time build
 

Well back at it again. Had to take a break from the hurricane last fall. Pilled everything in the garage and boarded up the house and went to a god friends in Atlanta for a long week. Came back to little damage. We got very lucky compared to many in the area. I did loose almost everything in my storage unit. Only thin salvageable was the parts for my bed. When we finally went back to work, was so behind, had to work seven days a week till a couple weeks ago. So not much progress. But, feeling good. Back on 8s and back working on the truck. Pulled the interior to make it to easier to finish all the wiring. Couple pics of stereo install. Still needs to be adjusted by someone better than me LOL
