Hey wuz up guy's?
My latest update on the BeaterTruck project.
Well, I was at a local junk yard this weekend and there it was. A wrecked 2004 chevy truck. Being me I took every good part I could find including a perfect tan dash. It took me half the day to get it all out, but it was well worth it, RIGHT!
So now my old 81 beater has a new 04 dash mounted in it. I still have some stuff to work out like AC vents and wiring for the head light switch, but nothing to hard. I will try and get some pics up soon. My camera is at the shop and I have been doing the dash install in my back yard. :nutz: (SHADE TREE STILE) :laugh:
Has anyone ever seen a newer dash in an old truck? I had a 79 TA with a 96 dash in it, but that was already done when I bought it.
If I keep going this way I'll soon have a 99+ truck. :laugh:
-
Sweet! I want to see that after you get in in.
-
For the most part it is already in. :thumb: What sucks is I think I'm going to have to mount the tach on top of th dash. :cry: There's not enough room where the old cluster was to mount all my gauges. But' on the bright side I can mount the NOS pressure, boost and fuel gauges where the radio used to be. :laugh: The hole for the radio is so big I think I could mount 6 guages. :drool: :laugh:
BTW I have a 04 Radio CD/TAPE and elc. A/C controll if any body wants them. I don't now what there worth.
Any ideas?
-
Right on. Let us know when you get some pics.
-
thats gonna look cool , good idea! :cool:
-
Wheres the pics? Im trying to decide what to do about the gauges on my 86. Id like to see what yours looks like.
-
will the ac/controls work on a 99, can they be integrated to work?
-
that was going to be one of my questions. then gauges.

They put a new dash in a '89 1500. Looks great. Seems like they kept a OBS radio and HVAC controls. I've been planning on doing the same thing when I start the LQ9 6.0 swap in my '98 truck in the next week or two.

that radio is also used in NBS dashes, those are in my 99 NBS and i think they go through 02.
