beautiful work, really really beautiful and I can only congratulate you!
a quick question, how did you fix your led bar on the windshield?

My buddy makes them, let me know if you would like a set. Thank you!

merci pour la réponse l'ami, je suis en France, il peut coûter cher de facturer deux platines malheureusement

We are running stock 60 springs

Stock rear and front? I just picked up some Chevy 63's last weekend for the rear and move rear stock to the front. If your just stock springs SOA I may not put on the 63's for my 4BT swap. Anybody else running rear 63's with stock rears on the front?

I dunno about calling that a “Pro Tip” Dave! The only reason I was able to show you that it’s easy to do from underneath is that I have on at least one occasion reassembled my own gauge cluster into the dash without hooking up the speedo cable .

Experienced in screw ups? yes.. professional...? not a chance .

Kleatus - I forgot to install the speedo cable before I reinstalled the dash.
I found this thread and have been trying to figure out how you can reach in from underneath the dash but I just can’t get my hand in there far enough to feel the speedo connector on the cable or the back of the speedo gauge
I can feel the cable but just can’t get in far enough to follow it up further to the connector and then to the back of the gauge.

I went through from the bottom, just to the right of the steering column.
My truck is a 62 w AC so I wonder if that makes a difference.

Anyway, I’d love to hear how you did it so I don’t have to take the dash out again.

Thanks.

Are you sure? Looks like you have stock frame hangers.

If you crouch down facing out with the door open and lay your shoulders flat on the drivers floor and reach your right arm up above the gas pedal following the cable you can get to it. At least that's how I've done it. Mine is a 62 with AC as well.

I am not totally sure, all i know is that we took the springs that were on the rear and stuck them on the front.

We got a new bumper from 4x4Labs! Went up to there shop and picked it up since we were in the area, got a tour of there place and met some of there guys. The bumper is awesome! Thank you to 4x4Labs for supporting our Military, they gave us a discount for Brooks serving our country.

What beadlocks are those?

 

[cruisermatt]

Looks great guys. The 4x4labs bumpers are awesome.

Is the awning hard to setup up on a taller truck like yours?

They are not beadlocks, they are fake. We got the at Summit.

Thanks Matt! No its not hard to do, we are over 6' tall so that helps.

Had the seats redone awhile ago, we like how they turned out.
