    YEARS ago I found this photo and stuck it in my collection of idea photos because I really like those rims. They seem to strike the perfect balance of being different but not being out-of-place or over-the-top. This photo may have even inspired me to get the grill inserts because I think I found this photo before getting mine. I even have this photo in my desktop slideshow. It's nice to see more information about this truck.




    It looks like you put LEDs in the HVAC controls. I have the horizonal HVAC module, and have never been able to get the LEDs to work properly in them because the light isn't broad enough and the LEDs seem to work themselves loose in my HVAC module. I eventually returned to the old incandescents and that green-tint I was trying to get rid of because they would at least light the module evenly. Yours look evenly bright.

    Thanks Guys!

    Steve: I had the LED's installed at a local kustom shop here. I ordered the back dash bezel from Blackcatcustoms.

    It turned out awesome.

    Trucks getting sanded down right now. Cant wait for it to be painted. A 3 year project in the making!

    If you don't mind me asking. How much are you paying for the full paint job? I just pulled my truck out of storage and looked underneath and the rockers are all starting to rust out. So I am in need of MAJOR body work and a paint job on that. I am just wondering how much I will need to start putting away.
