I am thinking of picking up a couple extra dashes and then cutting out the cigarette lighters and blending them in where the ashtray is so I can have 3 12v outlets. One day...

Idea stealer! Well, kind of...

I've said before that was my plan (well - cutting up my spare dash & blending in a second cig lighter) but I'm not dumping the ash tray - that's my super secret Ipod docking station!

That's a good idea as well! Right now, my ashtray is really my change dish. I lined it with poptart box cardboard to dampen the jingle.

Sorry for not updating in a long time guys. I ve been workin on her slow and steady since the snow melted and it warmed up a bit. Got the new cab on the roller stand and the old rusted metal all cut out. Started welding in on cab corner replacement. Cleaned out the inner corner and sprayed it all with rust reformer. Then plug welded a tab to weld to along the top edge of the opening. Sprayed everything with weld thru primer and went to town!
