is that double din? I've not seen one done. Opens things up for me. Any super mods required aside from cutting?
No it's a 1.5 din from retro sound. my dash already had a hole cut in it from the previous owner cutting it with a rusty butterknife and a chisel so I was looking into double din but I ended up using the late model 1.5 din suburban/blazer dash bezel. double din takes up a lot of the dash and requires a little bit more to fit in and they never really look great to me, I've seen one or two with them in, you'd have to cut the edges off the bezel on the right and bottom and you're left with a weird fit because you never really have a whole lot of room below. I know folks have a bunch of ways they put double dins in with consoles or overheads but using a 1.5 was just the easiest for me, definitely paid way too much for it but it sounds good with my setup and was plug and play

Not my work, but my old square. The guy that bought my 75 c30 is keeping me updated on his work hes doing to it.
He used a heat gun and some oil to restore the door panels and the dash, and he cleaned the steering wheel gauges and bezel. Alot nicer than it was.
Glad hes enjoying it more than me.

I got rambunctious. I'm presently "On leave" from my classic repair shop waiting for surgery and kinda going buggy wandering around the house. So I brought Ralph in for motor mounts, that I have had sitting on the shelf since the clutch job. My OTC stinger engine support, that sits on both fenders and can hold the engine up for the motor mounts was too short to go across the engine bay, so, I had to use my engine hoist, which is out on loan to a friend. So, I checked fluids and leaks, and did general check out in engine compartment. Made some ignition changes (the grease under the ignition thingy in the distributor) and a rust repair on the firewall, in the black Schmutz. Gee, I hate that black **** all over the firewall, so I fixed that ugliness and the rust with a coat of POR 15. Got the wipers working correctly, TWO speeds, and washer working too. Chris craft on YT said you cannot fix these things, but, he took his apart and couldn't fix it. I took mine apart and fixed it! two speeds now working (stuck switch in dash). Washer pump goes on and off as it should. Yippee! One step back produces three steps forward. I love old cars and trucks!

Today, instead of working on it, I actually drove the damn thing. What an awesome day. Great to see some friends and play some pool, then went downtown to grab some ethanol free gas. Terrorized downtown, then brought it back home. Tomorrow, hopefully will be going for another cruise into the country.

I imagine that's what my truck would look like if it had the proper grill on the front. Lol
