You will need a cluster without the tack in order to use your cool looking overlays do you have one yet?
Yes I have one, came out of a '97 2x, Fleet Truck, as with a lot of my projects I have had the parts for a while.
I will be using the gauges from the '03 Dash, from what I have for info they are the same units.
You can see in the picture the LED Strip around the outer wall of the housing, not sure if I will use any of the OEM Light positions , need to test that, but I will be using the same wiring to light up the LEDs.
I will have to look up the list of changes I need to make in the wiring but there isn't a lot but I'm thinking of replacing the OEM idiot lights with some newer LEDs, but again keeping the same wiring.
My Grille Lights, I'm attempting to contour the PVC pipe to fit the contour of the Grille Shell. not sure how to cut the pipe with a slight curve. (No pics yet).
Thinking Cut Off Grinder, maybe a thin Hack Saw, even one of the wood working Coping Saws with a fine blade.
I have the fiber glass and some thinner fiber glass cloth, just have to get started.
Once finished I want to paint the Shell black, to get a full blacked out front end.
