Nice. How long ago did you move to AZ? I'm assuming you've been to Shelton's salvage. I wish they would let us walk through the place...

Been here for 2 1/2 years, and yea i know sheltons haha, i use to work there and am friends with them, i can walk through the yard anytime i want to

I like the look and functionality better than the original split bench. And yes I know they are a different color but I'm going to try and rig up some seats out of a surburban or tahoe into my backseat. I know the part you sit on is a lot longer than the extended cab so I'm going to try and take the backrest from a surburban/tahoe w/ the fold down center console and put it on a extended cab bottom seat section. I'm also planning on buying gray door panels and put blue trim on it, since I need new panels anyway.

Also I got my LED cluster.

This picture doesn't do its justice sadly. All I can say is the original 2 bulbs that were still working out of the 5 bulbs wouldn't show up on my camera. So if you want a original picture just imagine a black square above the one with blue gauges

Interior looks great. Did you remove the green tint off the back of the gauges?

I agree I feel like I'm up higher and plus the armrest is a major plus.

I did not It is very bright and blue with the green tint still there. I didn't remove the green because someone mentioned you didn't have to if you were putting blue or green in but any other color you do have to remove to get the full effect.
