    The dash is in surprisingly great shape. Other than the vents and what I think is a couple cracks in whatever they finished the wood with there isn't a thing wrong with the dash. It seems solid all across the board. Being real wood id imagine it'd be simple enough to remove and sand and recoat with something to get it looking brand new again. I still need to fix some switches that have the thin part of the toggle broken but still work and find the labels and if they are supposed to be lighted or not and fix that. The rest of the cab needs some minor work, the trims and walls are nice but floor needs work and some touch ups. Saw some resin floors that looked pretty slick that I really liked and can make myself so ill prolly do that eventually after I've got the spare money to park it while I put a new floor in. And one piece of vinyl wrapped trim is messed up but other than that it is in great shape inside.

    Took me long enough to find exactly what I wanted so I figure I'd better take care of it and keep it nice. Other than the meritor 10 speed it's exactly what I was looking for and for the money I wanted to spend on one.

    I did not know so..
    But my guess would be to remind the future generations of what the prior people had to endure for the freedoms they enjoy today..?

    But I'm always up for a history lesson..

    I'd like to see someone put an epoxy floor in a truck. Like you can do in a garage. I think that would be sharp.

    Haha. He was i think right around a year old in this pic. How he got the name "Goose". The last 2 dobermans before him would sneak up behind you and ram their heads between your legs if they wanted some attention Lol, Goosing you. The name stuck. We couldn't think of one and out of nowhere my dad said goose and it stuck.

    He was one of those dogs you only come across once in a lifetime. Still miss the hell outta him. This fall will be 4 years he's been gone

    YouTube. It looks pretty sharp. Seen a few videos of guys putting in led aswell. Looks neat. I still want to do a regular hardwood. Maybe a summer project....maybe.

    Edit: heck, I still have to finish the espar install. I had to walk away from that for awhile. I was getting pi$$ed.

    Hardwood is always a good choice. Easy to install and maintain, and gives a real classy look.
