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.
Ya I know what you mean I have a build thread for my 88 here and over their and one for our 90 over their and a lot of times I forget to update over their since I am on here more.

Thanks! And I cut the lights open and installed the halos to fit perfectly in the glass lens. Although I'm going to be taking them off and putting them on my 2002 and I'm going to put a 30" light bar in their place as soon as I get the big rectangle halos made for all the light bars.
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
One thing that will make it a lot easier to fabricate your switch bank panel is to use pre fabbed Contura switch inserts. You can get them in 3 or 6 switch bank as a single unit, which won't work for you, or you can get the individual ends/center and assemble them into whatever size you need. The really nice thing about them is that you just cut a single rectangular hole. The inserts form the individual holes for the switches.
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.
