Hey brother I'll have to get back to you in a few hours. I'm on my way to do a little Christmas eve morning hunting before going back home to deal with the n laws.

The dash box is called a dashmann box. It's made by a cool guy named Mark Vickers. I have his phone number. If you do a search, there are quite a few threads.

Anyways I'll be back later with all that great info

Mark Vickers (Mr. Dashmann) phone number- (408) 623-4637

Cost shipped for me was $290, but he said his prices were increasing by about $10 on the next batch of orders.

The box takes oh about 2 seconds to install once you have the original dash pad piece off and cut the spot welds with the spot weld drill bit that comes with the box.

I had mine already off so I was able to have the metal painted, I would suggest taking care of that before installing the box.

There is a thread on here that someone created documenting the install very well. I believe I have it saved.

As for paint code I'll send that later when I get home mate

That is a great looking truck. I really like the color. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Looking good. Good to see what can be done in a year when you not working on it all the time. I tore mine down 2 years ago and have not been back to it do to several moves. All settled in now with room to work. Hope to get back into it in 2012!

Merry Christmas to all

Thanks gents, here is the link to the paint codes. I can't remember which one we used but I believe they are all the same color just different brands

Gauges are in and most of the wiring ran. Just needs hooked up and probably played with.
