Both my 68 GMC (Sold ) and the new 72 are both rear leaf type trucks. Is your truck rear leaf or coil suspension?

Very similar build to my 72. Looking forward to following your progress with this truck. Subscribed!!
Yes mine is a leaf truck as well, didn't know they came with them until I did some research. I think its kinda cool. The dash really didn't take much more than what I posted. Once I cut the old gauge cover back to the bracing, the camaro cluster fit in perfect. Then I just made some L brackets to use the existing mounting holes. The hardest part was making the lexan template. I can get some more detailed info later. Thanks for checking out my build. I've been lurking around for a while, and been getting tons of inspiration from everyone on here
