Both of my crewcabs are orginal wimbledon white and plans on putting them back that way when I decide to restore them. I love that color. Yours looks awesome.

At first I wasn't sure about deleting the stake pockets but now I'm glad I did.

Thanks. I'll put together a proper build thread as soon as its done and I'm home long enough to do it. Hard to build one when your home a day and a half a week but its getting there.

Congrats on the nice find.

Decided to throw a radio delete bezel int he dash since the a/c isn't hooked up yet and I haven't bought the radio either. Now that its in there its growing on me and I'm thinking of putting an a/c vent in it and just using it. I have a new DC bezel with the vent, I bought it just for this project but now it may just go into my inventory. Thoughts?

This is the one I installed in my other '78. I like that it looks original-ish especially when it's off. Planned on doing the same in the crew but now?

The stereo also has iPod controls so I mounted one of my old iPhones in the glove box. I rarely ever listen to just radio so I thought about installing a hidden unit and doing the same with another iPhone.

Come a long way since May when I first started talking to the PO about buying it but still a ways to go. De-smog the engine, replace t-case seals, headliner, hook up A/C and cruise, paint everything underneath, lift kit, and a few little odds and ends should just about wrap it up.
