Got the dash out. I'm so glad I only gotta do it once. 

Hello beautiful 




And so the work begins




Got the bezel out, that was easy



Got the dash taken apart. I meant to take more pictures, but once I got started I didn't wanna stop. Let's just say I think there's more screws in this dash than there are holding your house together. I'm proud of myself, I didn't cut a single wire except for 1 ground wire, but all of the clip connection dealies are broken because 1) the truck is old as hell and 2) it was easier that way



Goodbye old parts




These are all from the dash. I even dropped quite a bit on in the dirt.



I love this multi gauge thing. It's actually super sweet. I love how everything is all right there. Might have to try to find a way to use this in the engine swap.
