First off, I love this thread. This another great build found on this site.

Second, don't do it... the instrument cluster is what sets 5-6-7 trucks apart from everything else... you're right, they are sexy. I think you'd be kicking yourself later on if you castrate tyour truck by doing that. My 2 cents. If you really must cut it out, it may be better to sell the chevy cab and find a good GMC cab instead as it will save you the hassle of cutting out the gage pod. Maybe by the time you are ready for insturmentation, Dakota Digital will have released heri 5-6-7 gauge package. hold off on that decision until the absolute last minute!

Lastly, keep it up. Keep lots of great pics coming. that's what keeps some of us coming back - when guys show lots of details and have great build threads.
