why not build the beams yourself?
I too have a couple sets of D35 beams for modding
Solo makes AWESOME beam stuff so I don't blame you there I am just a DIY because I'm always broke lol
You can build some jigs and cut/turn/extend the beams yourself?
I'm on record as saying "I know just enough about anything and everything to get myself INTO trouble or out of it..." Painting cars, Automatic transmissions, and welding I don't do. However, welding is something I plan on learning on my own.. And SM does a pretty good job at providing a product. typically I am a DIY too but not because I'm broke, but because I just have to know how things work and everything before and after for the sake of know how. I learned early on that multiple income streams are key to not being broke and also making your money work harder for you rather than always working harder for your money...

I like your ideas on the switching, what is your idea on the "ALL ON" Switch, will you be using diode to stop the reverse current flow ?
Your placement of the switches and the arrangement reminded me of how I like to add switches and indicators all over the truck.
My '03 has only four additional switch in the overhead console so far, maybe more as mods get completed.
Nice work on this rig !
Yea, I really thought about that after a situation developed once... long story
I tried to minimize the arrangement really and the 3 additional switches above the Tablet were seriously an after thought. Now that I have a new dash to play with. I need to find a "Like New" bezel and I will revamp my idea even better now. Then I'll take some good pics of the newer dash bezel completed. The woman's got a new camera that takes amazing macro shots.
The OHC I have has the garage door opener cubby. THAT is soon to be home to a speaker for the H.A.M. radio unit. I still need to order one but I wasn't planning on working on that just yet but now that again I have new interior pieces to play with, we'll see. I may be running some additional wires up the A-pillar in preparation for a Kenwood/Icom speaker.
The following updates are brought to you by Vegas Hot days, Blue Moon Belgian White beer... and Sven, my Swedish minority assistant [lmao]
SO.. Updates
Pulled the interior today, frustrations, temps, and a near failing MAC T45 due to a Magilla-gorilla ratcheted on seat belt bolt leaving the traveler side seat belt and the rear trim piece attached to the truck. All the trim was pulled except the headliner and visors; I'll do that tomorrow. But the seats were pulled, the trim, dash.. well, you can see.
Was there a center console in the 50/50 seating arrangement? Anyone have a pic to go by? Just curious.
Also got the bed off as well. Tomorrow I will double check whats involved in the cab pull and get a a couple guys over to help lift it off the frame.
I wish I could run the Vin to see the Old Window Sticker and see what rear end it had in it. No tag, no driver door.. grrrr
