    Default last pic- gotta go to bed!

    hope these pics help to answer some of your questions about what I've done on the A/C installation and my custom instrument panel and switch labels

    Good evening all!

    Has that truck ever been outside a clean room? I don't think I could make any of mine look that clean if I spent the rest of my life at it. ANd what is that funy shiny round thing in the second from last photo? Oh right it's that very rare steering wheel that hasn't melted yet.

    That is one very sweet truck.

    Just a thought. The switches in the above windshield might pose a hazard if heaven forbid you were in an accident. I wonder if they are easy break toggles or if you put them in a weaker base.

    I say this because I've been fooling around with the same idea and haven't really figured out the answer. Certainly not a criticism as your truck is absolutely gorgeous.

    Tim,
    You are absolutely right about that 'headsore hazard' concerning the O/H console switches. The console is made from 0.063 alum. w/Lucas toggles. I have the non retractable seat belts installed w/shoulder harness though that prevents my body from moving forward enough to hit them - I think... Besides my dash is an all metal 'safety dash' - no way it's gonna get hurt if my skull hits it, probably won't even chip the paint

    cheers!
