So...I thought I was finished building/fabricating parts.Pulled part of the dash out today as I have to open up the stereo hole.Pc is not really in good shape but it is the original.Much to my surprise it is steel with some sort of woodgrained plastic stuck to it.It is quite heavy for its size...
I can't deal with steel and have no way of opening up the hole with out wrecking the finish.So wall art it becomes and I am making a new one from aluminum...I am just going to copy what they did but change the stereo hole.This is the only truck that got random switches.Pretty sure after this he went to a toggle switch panel...

I see my picture is back up(???)
I chose not use a Hayes hood ornament for a few reasons.Cost and availability would be two reasons.If I could get a set of the door emblems that would be different.I may water jet a grizzly profile when I have a chance..

I know there is more than one way to post pics but I just click upload a file then go into "my pictures" and click on the pics I want and up load them.This is one of the easier sites to load pictures on..
Nice looking truck...I found lots of pictures of her.

Made my new dash pc.Its just satin(aluminum) black for now,I am going to see if I can get some of the original woodgrained metal dash material from Pacific..I know they still have some.
Anyways the purpose of this was to hold my stereo..Not so concerned about the music but I wanted on board(in dash) Garmin GPS and I wanted a back up camera..MaryLee wants to drive this and the camera will help her backing up.I am still teaching her to back up by only using her mirrors.She has a Ranger PU..It will be handy with a trailer as well..
I have a dash mount Garmin in my other truck and they make rear view mirrors camera friendly but I don't want all the cords hanging around and in view..
The music will be nice too..
