you didn't cut the dash did you?

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

No I did not

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

Also replaced both tie rod ends and a whole new drag link.

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

nice job on the stereo, looks like the ones i put in my travel trailer and my Toyota pickup, got them at Walmart....sound great....how did you mount it in your truck without cutting the dash if you don't mind me asking?

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

The factory radio had those little knobs and the dash did too. So I just bend the tabs back so technically I did cut it a little

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

Nice work on the truck. I wouldn't worry about if the dash is cut or not too much IMO. If you ever want to put it back to original, it isn't that big of a thing to fix. Plus, I'd rather have a CD player in the dash and not under the seat or what ever. But that is just my opinion. My truck is so modified a non original radio is no thing to me. :lol:

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

Thanks and yeah I could fix the dash easily but I'm not worried about it l like it how it is.

Also found a set of west coast mirrors for my truck at klingers junkyard. Both mirrors and everything for $30 bucks! I couldn't pass it up and I always wanted and liked the look of them.

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

Here is pic with them on and mounted. Also I just bought two new mirrors from advanced auto because I broke the drivers side so I just bought two right away and they really close the factory.

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

I think it looks good

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

the mirrors look great, very vintage

Re: 1970 k/20 project

Awesome truck! It's always great to see a teenager that loves old iron and isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. We need more kids like you in this country.

Re: 1970 k/20 project
 

Thanks for your kind words appreciate it.

Re: 1970 k/20 project
