Next thing to do was to install the dash. Having to mess around with the heater wires and ductwork, dash knobs, and misc wiring all at the same time isn't a whole lot of fun. After a few attempts, it came together. I had a new later style (68 and up) dash pad to put on. What a piece of crap! I didn't fit well at all and one of the ends split while trying to coerce it into place. No holes were lined up and the pilot dimples they put in it to mark where the screws should go didn't exactly line up with the holes in the dash. It took a lot longer than it should have to get it installed. With that done, it was time to work on the windshield frame.


Got the windshield in, the soft top riser installed, the windshield wiper assy bolted down, and the antenna on. The windshield frame assembly must have gained 100 lbs with all that stuff! Sharon had to help me get it set in place and bolted down. The billet knobs from NicksTrix don't exactly match, but they are going to stay!

Now it is time for more wiring. My hands are not happy right now with the cold weather and days of stripping, splicing, twisting, and soldering a metric ton of wire. The wiper assembly was a great spot to mount an LED for a dome light. I plan to put some more of these lights in the back of the truck too. PAGING CHUZIE- wiring help needed in bay 1!
