What did we do before cup holders?
Here now-a-days it's just the Mrs. & I. And the grandkids have no interest in riding in the old truck so the console lives there now. Passengers have an 8ft bed to stretch out in.- hey mister

What did we do before cup holders?
...holding that hot coffee between your legs? Oh yea, I remember those days. And the memories are not pleasant. So.... The Mrs. and I kept looking for console with a couple cup holders, but none of them stirred us to buy. So one day I fired up the old CAD system; Cardboard, Sharpie and...- hey mister

Ignition switch upgrade
I thought about a hidden switch or a battery cut-out. Just haven't figured out which one or where. And the keyless options are just about as easy to hack as the stock column.- hey mister

Badgeless, but better now.
And what's funny is that not one person at any crus'in has ever noticed or mentioned the Sunburst Badge. Oh well, most of us walk around half awake anyhow.- hey mister

For this job, only the best, frozen pizza box cardboard. The initial cutting, trimming and fitting is all trial...- hey mister

Ignition switch upgrade
78 Big 10. When I got this truck, my son-in-law enlightened me as to how easy it is to punch out these ignition switches. Then nothing more than a large flat blade screwdriver is used as the key. Well buggers! That just won't do. I need at least a few seconds to rack a round. So a new ignition...- hey mister

Greeting from the, X-tire capitol of the world.
Well, Thanks to all those nice "Welcome"s. So...y'all want pictures. I thought about putting some in the intro, but that really didn't smell of proper manners. Therefore, let me ask a question. I see in my section a "album" for photos. Can anyone pruse the photos I put in that album, or do I...- hey mister
