Looks really good. One day, I'm going for one of those radios. To keep the stock look, I sliced off almost everything behind the
"face" of the radio. Not so good for tunes. But I was back given about a bazillion bucks worth of electronics that I put in a home
made box/console under the dash.

Not the best set up, given that it turns out that I generally don't care much about Bluetooth/GPS/XM/DVD/FM/CD library/hands
free cell phone/AM-FM while driving the truck.

But a nice gesture by a friend. And so, in she went... into my sort-of cobby, home made box!

All that stuff running through fifty whole bucks worth of speakers.....

I like the center box. Looks clean. I went with the Custom Autosound USA-230 because my old radio was AM only & I wanted something with FM too. Plus it has the AUX jack to plug in my iPhone. And because it seems that everything in & behind the dash was either broken or deteriorated. So almost everything got replaced or refurbished in & behind the dash.

I finish the final sanding on the exterior of the cab and door jams. I then put the self levelling seem sealer on the front drip rail.

All I wanted to do was seal up a couple of water leaks, but of course I couldn't stop there.

Dug out a lot of junk from the cowl/kick panel vents. Sand blasted and epoxy/high build primed the cowl panel and new antenna.

Had a couple buddies over to pull the front clip... New 383 and Trans swap on deck...
