My dually has the original truck handle too. By chance is that tan Denali bezel for sale?

Got a few more things done. I went ahead and fabbed up a harness to power up some additional switches, and also to run power to the A pillar triple gauge setup. While I was at it, I decided to put in the provisions for steering wheel controls. I used the swi-rc adapter, set the pins, and all works as it should. I went ahead and led swapped the fog switch and DRL off switch. Then added a couple bulb covers and they all match pretty nice now.

Decided for now to throw on the GMC Jimmy Diamond edition wheel with the perforated leather. I like it for now, I will likely swap over to the black woodgrain wheel once I figure out an acceptable solution to the elscalade door spears and dash bezel. Regardless, this is a nice upgrade compared to my old wheel, and now that the clockspring and audio controls are finished, changing wheels will be pretty easy.

Also finished up the triple gauge cluster install. I used speedhut and had them put a custom face on it. The upgrades over the next few weeks should make these really come alive and become more critical.

Looking great! The interior lighting is handsome. Not sure how much I'm digging through woodgrain in these trucks. Seems like that bezel would look better hydro-dipped or vinyl wrapped.

What's up with the different HVAC knobs in those pics? Are those the Savanah knobs I've seen referenced or just a generic aftermarket?

Loving the woodgrain. Also, how'd you get to fit all those switches? I have the airbag switch, cargo lamp switch and an empty spot that doesn't look like it can be removed. Is there another panel you can put into there with an extra slot?

I took a 3 hole retainer and modified the top opening. The retainers came in several configurations. I have spares of most of them if you want one to hold 3 switches.
