Decided to play with the instrument panel. Thank you Ryan at BJ’s OFFROAD for getting out the Dakota Digital to me.
And yes I will be using vacuum setup for door controls on heater box unit.
And Ryan should be sending me a fan control switch shortly.
I reworked everything and it all works perfectly as designed. I am un decided if the gauge clear lenses are staying. Not happy with the 50 year old faded plastic. I cleaned them somewhat. But really not perfect as I want. So May revisit that. Dakota builds their part so you can go either way.
As far as on dash. The ash tray and clock will be coated in the Raptor lining . And Ryan already sent me a new glovebox insert.. 2nd one… found the first one hiding on my toolbox. Darn it…
I will be getting fully primed and prep sanded cab back on Monday from Paint.
The idea is to get cab back onto chassis. And start working on plumbing and electrical and dash install. And will figure out inner fender full setups. And painter will start working on bed. Hood and doors are in final primer. Front fenders and bed and front grill unit are next. I will hopefully end of Monday or Tuesday have a huge photo dump coming. It is closer to getting back up to full speed on this.
My Transmission guy wants to remove transfer case and repaint nd is threatening to do same with Transmission.
