The fancy trickery keeps coming…..
Tablet, phone mounts and a dual USB charge port. There is also a charge port in the front of the console, hopefully 4 USB’s is enough lol.
No excuses to not be able to navigate. If this isn’t enough I do have a gazetteer that I know how to read

I have those things everywhere lol. They are like tape measures. 25 of them in 1 room and can’t find one when you need it, tripping on them when you don’t
Big day!
I have door keys! Also lubed up the door mechanisms so everything is working smooth

I have an archive of pics I took shortly after I bought it. No newer pics immediately at hand, but this might be entertaining for now.

Thanks!
Wasn’t after a shiny new restoration, just cleaned up, functional and easy to read/see. Didn’t want it perfect, then the rest of the truck would have to follow

Yep....it can look rough, but have everything working is good enough to please us, one at a time with our own projects
Not everything is better with bling!

I'll read the build thread next, but I was wondering what floor shifter you have? Cheatah? or something like that. Do you like the seats?

The shifter is a Winters, private labeled for several names.

The seats are very comfortable, not super easy to get in and out, but was aware of that going in. They also aren’t the look I wanted but for cost, overall fitment and comfort couldn’t be happier.

That’s a nice touch! I was reading through your build thread (for like the third time) and I’m wondering what you did for your air intake. I need to figure out what to do for my air intake and I’m basically using your truck as a guide
