You are going to have to start updating it as daily as you do on the other forum. LOL
Between the two you probably would get flooded with ideas. I know I do.

I know I'm on the other forum a lot more and my thread started since day one that I had the truck on the other forum. It's too hard to keep track of what you got going on, on all the different forums because I'm also on the powerstroke forums.

Here's the rocker switch console the color is pretty much did on compared to the gray trim. I have two more switches coming and the other two are on hold until I know for sure what I'm doing.

On a side note I think its funny how this thread hasn't left the first page and on another forum it's almost at 200 pages lol!!!
Hey man we've been watching and waiting lol, are you making the halo's? I like the plastidipped tailgate panel, mine is all faded and has some rust from a piece of metal laying on it so i may paint it and tint my lights while I'm at it. Did you plasti dip your two-tone as well?

Yup but its clear coated so it's really durable. Here's what it looked like with my tinted tail lights.

I also dumped the exhaust over the axle with a 4.5" rbp tip

The really nice thing about them is that you just cut a single rectangular hole. The inserts form the individual holes for the switches.

center piece. Use as many as you need: https://www.bluesea.com/products/826...acket_-_Center

The links above are to Blue Sea whose products I use in my business. You should be able to find the parts readily online, including pretty cheaply on Amazon from Blue Sea themselves.

Good to know for next time! I made this piece to fit all the way across the back though so that there was plenty of surface area to mount the switch panel to the the console. And once all the switches are installed you don't have to see the unsightly holes.

Obviously the switches hide the holes. The inserts just make things a whole heck of a lot easier and get the switches nicely spaced and aligned.

In my opinion, the popularity of this thread/truck is because you're not just bolting stuff on, you're hand-building most of it and doing it yourself.

Ya gotta love that! Good work there brother!
