cab floor done with sound deadner .. we use "B-Quiet" it's a Canadian product , and I love it .. also working on the floor mat , rubber (customer supplied , purchace from accmats.com ) . I have used there carpet and have been happy with the fitment , but this rubber mat is crap , imo , I have about 3-4 hours in to it now with a heat gun trying to get it to fit , and it just dosnt . I know most of it would be "hidden" , but I'm not one to hide things , so we're X naying the rubber for carpet . - ORDERED also working on the heating and air conditioning system .. All washed and cleaned + all new seals for the units and the ducts . .

continued finishing up the engine bay today + got the A/C all back together and on to the interior .. Toms inner kick panels were old and cracking (like ALL of them) so I installed ours . These basically "hide" all of the electronics on the inner kick panels , wayyy nicer then the stock ones IMO a little color , and drying overnignt .

so the real only modification you'll need to do if you install our inner kick panels (other then trimming them to fit) .. and if you have A/C , is to extend a wire . Instead of cutting any wires , I just used some OE connectors and made a extension wire .... so now they fit perfect . also , got the inner fender splash shields on Toms base model didnt have tilt either , so I added that !! also cleaned up and painted the headlamp mounts headlamps were a little "clowdy" , so I polished those and also the stainless trim and installed .

new LED's in the guage pod little work on the dash today also got the speedo done We're switching out the old speedo for one with a tach , Toms original had a better condition glass then the replacement , so i opt to use that one . pulled it all apart to clean the 32 year old dust off of the surround and the guages polished the glass , inside and out and back together .... and oops , original glass didnt have the trip meter hole , so I had to cut it .. done and looks much better also , got the dash in place .
