Yeah thanks, sometimes what I do all day isnt worth posting about in my opinion. Like today a large part of the first half was making a card board pattern for my dash extension.
I really dig your build though, I look at it every time you update too!! You are doing some mad stuff over there too, keep it going!

I can only imagine Alan!
I know it took you 5 years to build your thread on your truck, and like 2 weeks for me to read it all... it must have seen its fair share of ups and downs!
Always a pleasure when you guys stop by to take a look, thank you for that!
Now... what did I get done today other than playing cut-out with card board?
I took the heater controls out of the donor 85 Sierra (Ok fair to say I took everything out of it....) and started looking at my dash for installation. I like the cleaner look and adjustment options with the newer controls. I pretty much knew it was going to be the stock radio spot, or the ash tray that were going to house this unit.
I decided today it was going to be the radio.
The Sierra had all kinds of screws in the dash holding stuff where it needed to be, but I didn't want that in this truck, so I had to start with fabbing a mounting braket.
Guess I forgot to take pictures of that.
This is my dash before I started my hack job on it.
This is with the mounting braket welded in behind the dash, and my welds cleaned up a bit. I am at an impasse now as to whether I want to fill those knob holes and clean it up, or use the plate I made to fit in that space to clean up the look of it. I am leaning towards filling it and going from there.
Anyways, more later !!
Thanks for looking
