Having "engineered" something a little less professional for my recent door lock mod, I have been and continue to be consistently amazed at your resourcefulness and professionalism at resolving these details. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Dick, you are truly too kind. I am fortunate to be in a position where I am forced to find answers to questions that we all (60/62 owners) face sooner or later. I learn something new on every build, more often many things new. I share them here because I know how hard some of these things are to find once the OEM solution is no longer available. In this case I like the solution better than the old grommet and taped wire I find on them when they get to me. If something I post can help someone get closer to the truck of their dreams, cool.

Edit:
When you run wire through the rubber looms,
-remove the loom from the door side
-run the wires through loom
-run wires through hole in door
-insert loom back in grommet

Or you can try to get your wires to turn those corners in place, no waaaaaay!

Last time I did this I actually took and old metal coat hanger, bent the ends so they would not puncture the rubber and used that to route through the loom. Works great for me because you can see/bend the hanger easily for the bend in the loom and then pull everything through, kinda like a wallfish tape.

The last time I searched for vents it took a while to find two in decent shape. One out of four had both mounting tabs intact, two with one broken and one with both gone. I made up a jig, covered with sandwich bag and layed up epoxy fiberglass, 14 layers to get thickness desired. Cut to shape.

It seems almost everything we add to our trucks has electrical requirements. Most do not require much in the way of Amps but need one to all of Batt power, IGN power, ground and dash lights. It does not take long to have a dozen items with power needs. I solve this by using bus bars in the kick panel and fire wall. There are four, all leads are labeled as to hook up and what that particular lead(s) is powering on the other end of the harness.

All wiring is stand alone. There are two connections to the OEM harness, both fire relays. One relay converts Batt power to IGN power and is fired by the OEM IGN circuit. The other fires a relay that converts Batt power to dash lights and is fired by the OEM dash light circuit.

I was able to get the dash all back together. Everything is wired with connectors so pulling it all apart is pretty straight forward. There are even provisions for pwr/grnd/lights if a switch ever gets put in that blank to the left of OEM switches.

Sexy dashboard....!!!

 

[81Red60]

Which switches did you use for the accessory panel? Also did you fabricate something custom to mount them to?

 

[NCFJ]

The switches are Carling V1D2 in this instance. Standard Carling switch size. 5 place Carling style mount made up of two end pieces and 3 intermediate pieces. The juuuuuuuuust fit in the ashtray opening.

Thanks, I really like the 60 dash it is very clean, no frills. The Speed Hut gauges are my favorite, clean.

Boots will go in last. My wife makes up a custom twin stick boot to match the Lokar boot.

Is that the Icon center console? Looks pretty interesting.

 

[Kmonty66]

Is the ebrake still there or did you the electric brake?

 

[NCFJ]

Yes it is, houses a double DIN radio in the front. Huge storage behind. Interior light, USB charge ports.

 

[NCFJ]

E brake is electric.
