Re: my 80 build

Ive done a few things to my truck in past couple of weeks wired up my factory wiper motor to a universal wiper switch only work on low and low might be a loose ground or I need to spray some lubricant on the mechanics, I wired up my heater blows air out good now to decide about how I'm going to route the heater hoses, and took a few pics of what the inside looks of now, and a few more
my dirt cheap seat I got at the junk yard

Re: my 80 build

I figured out why my wipers would only work on slow had a bad ground, I was Tired of hiting my knee on my radio so I moved it where the factory a/c controls, then I drove my truck it was a liitle ocword with the shifter lever, so I decided to leave it alone, until I know what I really want. I was given a 89-91 bezel that I used since past owner messed up the metal dash were the radio was since I didn't notice it when my truck was getting body work, I mad a piece of diamond plate that covered up the radio opening just didn't take any pics
this was before it was tightened down

also took a bunch of pics of my heater under the dash
