    Decent sounding system

    Check out Rockford Fosgate's wizard - http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/Support/BoxWizard.aspx The wizard is perfect if you buy a Fosgate sub and very close otherwise.

    73 K10 w/350 has some weekend issues

    Yep. Vent is too small and the design has it in the wrong location on the filler neck. A comparison between newer models and the older ones shows how it was improved.

    Is the 1 Ton frame wider?

    Think 72 and older were slightly narrower. If you look up the differential pin/leaf spring centers for the squares on a 4x4 (73-87) you'll find 32" which is also the measurement from the center of one frame rail to the center of the other. Since bumpers are same same between 2x's and 4x's that...

    Need help with 4l80E swap!!!

    Not to turn things negative (I have done the 4L80E swap, more in a second) but the OD choice of the 80E vs the 60E is one that needs to be considered. The power that gets robbed by the larger Trans has to be valued by usage need otherwise I'd go smaller. If you tow or load the truck down it...

    Anyone used the old ash tray for something (else) that's interesting?

    I really like the USB idea.

    I like that. Perfect fit, neat and clean. My sat radio is in my tuner so I can't do that though.

    While working on the dash this weekend I had some ideas for what to use the ash tray space for. Maybe tuck aux fuse panels in there or weld it up and smooth it out (delete it). Anyone use it for something else? Lots of space there.

    Murdered out? Too common now?

    That looks sweet!

    want to build custom intrument cluster- any ideas?

    I like the look of AutoMeter gauges too. I'm not aware of an adapter that will work for the factory plug. On past projects I cut the factory plug off and used an aftermarket plug (like weather packs) to replace it as I still wanted the dashes to be removable. It's the easiest and cleanest...

    Double Din Radio

    Survey says...about 8" at the closest point to the firewall. And a typical deck is less than that (even better that the plugs are almost always on the passengers side rear of the deck) And the width of the unit And the width of the bezel A little tight on the bezel but if you cheat...

    Murdered out? Too common now?

    Cool, I didn't even notice and usually catch stuff like that...odd. That was a mod that I almost did when I was having a problem finding a 32 spine passengers side drop np241. Is it the 60 a 78-79?

    Double Din Radio

    Ive considered the double-d myself. Wonder if you could move the heater control down and then put the double-d in the above two spots combined? The issue might be depth.

    Come in for the biggest letdown of your life!

    I say slam it! There's something about it that I like. I agree with previous comments though - do it without hackin' so you, or the next owner, can undo it if you want.
