The much shrunk '11 dash



Seat lowering



Inspiration for the 65-66 F Series trucks.

This was '66 my dad bought new october 10th 1965. Many many moons ago!

Modified the stock "11 core support to frame mounts. A bunch shorter now in order to make it all fit.

Steering turned out being much simpler than I thought.

Using all stock '11 pieces I was able to make a adapter and find proper spot in firewall.
Cut a hole and weld and bolt it in place . .

Other than a "bad case of awesome"... What the heck is wrong with you!
I've been following this from the start, and this is freakin unreal man.
Fantastic job.

Thanks All!

Its been a touch one but finally making progress.

Another reason the core support has to be in exact location is so I could use the '11-14 remote hood latch.

Turns out I just needed to make a loop to fit the latch and it aligns perfectly.
I will of course have to make a cover of sorts so it cannot be tampered with.

Video so not sure if it will imbed or not.

I was hoping to use the inner structure from the '11 but angles area all wrong. mostly because I dropped the cab so much over the chassis.



Test fit on front clip. in pic the I/C is in stock '11 position. That is why I ended up starting from scratch just building one.

Also note the computer is in stock '11 location in cowl area. Another chore to get it to fit yet have the HVAC fit too.
