I will take a pic tomorrow to show you what i am talking about!
I did however, get a lot finished this evening! Not only did I get all the duct work secured, wiring finished buttoned up, but the dash itself went in, and the trim followed. It wasnt until I was getting the dash in, that I noticed some bolts were left in still from the original dash and ducts. What had happened was my original dash was cracked due to the supporting tabs being broken. The new dash, no cracks, no breaks, more solid then before! And it doesnt hurt to finally have the Cruise Control, Tilt, Powerstroke Guages, and Air Conditioning in finally! Whew! The PW/PD wiring has been run, just needs to be hooked up to the regulators and new door panels!
You will have to excuse the pic quality.. my phone and late at night when I finished for now!

George, can you put a pic up of the stacks from behind?
From the pics, it looks like you may have squeezed em closer together then most due to the boxes in the bed.. if thats the case, i want to see what it looks like cause I am gonna have to do the same because of my headache rack (it has lights).
