Thanks a bunch, but Murph was not right on this...70+ hour work-weeks tend to make a guy tired!
Not that I am NOT workin on it, I am just workin on several small things at the same time, with nothing really worth posting!...Yet.

You are right, the pics suck...But I know what the pieces really look like!
When you get some good pics on here, then everybody will know.
I hope that it is sometime soon!
Your truck ROCKS BTW!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

finally got my deluxe controls, and got them painted and the knobs installed, hope theses pics dont suck as bad. had to re-spray my dash because of the standard heater plate covers the dash about a 1/6th of a inch and the deluxe comes in from behind so there not installed in the truck yet but hope this will do them justice for now.thanks again modge and sorry it took me so long, just haven't had time to work on it,family and work seems to be absorbing most of my time here lately.

Flip, these pics look awesome!!!
I really wanted for somebody to have a set of these to install on their build that would truthfully give input on their personal opinion of the quality level, & how they functioned on a whole....In addition, I wanted for it to be an owner that wasn't in line to sell their vehicle soon. I am happy to see you enjoying them almost as much as me!

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

If you visit my build thread on a normal basis, you may recall that i accidently knocked my radiator assembly off from the mezzanine where it was stored, to the floor, where it busted into a zillion pieces.
I have since decided to purchase a full aluminum radiator with additional cooling capabilities to replace the broken unit...
I had to re-make all of the mounts, but it looks pretty trick!
Here are some before & after pics!
First pic is before, when I thought everything was good to go.
The rest of the pics are after I FIXED everything!!!!!
