Cab looks great. Judging by how the PO cut the hole for the master cylinder makes me wonder if he didn't own my truck before I got it. His cutting style looks familiar, LOL.

At least now the patch panels are decent, years ago I had to make replacement parts, much more labor intensive
Your project is looking great.
