Once I’m done, I’m done, do not want to be fiddling with it or modifying it after I’m done. So as you said, while it is apart and things are easy to get to, I will do everything I can to make the truck I want, then wash my hands and work the darn thing.
Around here 1st gens are like some ancient rare artifacts, and finding parts for them in decent condition is mostly futile without spending a small fortune. Also, these first gen dashes are garbage, so why not update it a bit? Especially while the cab is on the floor, windshield out and everything is simple.
The advice is not lost on me.
This whole project could be considered a dumb idea by many, and is a heck of a lot more than most would want to take on, or consider practical. But the thing we need to remember is, many find joy from their creative interests, and that is more valuable then money.
I don’t drink, smoke, do drugs, gamble or find any real satisfaction from anything in this silly world, aside from my family, my garden and my projects, so if 10 years down the road I’m still working on this, but happy doing it, that’s good enough.
