Aw Yeaaaah!
 
I knew what it was gonna be before I opened the thread. Badass dude!



So, is it swapped yet? :crazy:

Haha thanks! Not done yet, got a long way to go


O yes

dat ford axle :cheeky2:

Haha yea cause chevy is slacking in that department

gotta get powdered teal first :P

James, don't you have pictures somewhere of what you layed the strips down in your HVAC controls? I cant seem to find them and thought you did. Also, did you leave the stock bulbs in or take them out due to room?

Haha yea can't wait till its teal!

Here is the photo I used, you can add more or follow the same pattern

Aw Yeaaaah!

Another piece to the puzzle
 
SEMA 15 kneegreaux!!

When you're done with this truck, it will be more qualified to be at SEMA than half the shit that actually goes to SEMA.....
 
Haha probaby wont be at sema, but yes you are right. Most of the sema stuff these days are all bolt on catalog trucks. Only a handful are actual "builds" and not bolt on
 
Not the gauges. the HVAC controls. I already did my cluster.


In SAS related news, what gears are in the ferd axle? you going to have to regear the rear end?

Sorry reading > me

I would recommendd using a xmaller strip like the 3528 because the strip isnt as wide

I was told the axle had 3.73s but I looked up the Bill of Material and it says it has 4.10s. Doesn't really matter cause my current gears are 4.56 so itll get swapped to 4.56

I would love to see yours and Budd's SAS'd trucks in those halls one day

Hell, your AF buddies could hook you up with a spot! They only have like, 90 trucks in their outside booth! lol
 
There we go!! That's what I was looking for. My LEDs hopefully will be in by the weekend so I can work on this.

No problem, can't wait to see!

Haha yea I know that would be sweet! I am hoping they will hook me up with a pass this year to sema lol
 
Some info on the axle, in the ad it was listed as a dana super 60 but as far as I know the super axle is only in the 450's from 05-08 then the are used in the 250 and up in 08. Here is the info though on the bill of material
