keg1 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes I made it. I cut a section out of the original back panel and bent it up. There's a picture of it on page 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I love the dash. I've been trying to find someone to cover one like that. Not many people want to touch it. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keg1 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2015 I finally got to get some work done. I spent the last couple months stripping most everything off the frame and scrapped, sanded, power washed and finally got it painted last weekend. I bolted the stack brackets, fuel tank brackets and fifth wheel back on and painted it again today. I'll have to get the air lines cleaned up and run back the frame and get all the brake hardware on and then i can get the shiny stuff on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbehindthebarn Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well I got curious so I went to dynamat website, yeah I guess its the dynamat extreme I used, although I didn't think it was called extreme and the closest thing to the packs I bought is the bulk pack. I will try to dig mine out of boxes to see what it says, I've had it a couple years as I got a big discount so I bought 4 packs at once and I have two left. Looks like they have some other stuff I may try out in mine I maay do one layer of dynamat and one layer of that black foam version in 1/4" thick under my carpet and in the roof, firewall.Yeah dynomat is awesome stuff I did the cab of my 84 V8 Superliner and it cut the noise and heat from the firewall and floor in half. I could barely hear my phone before and after it was like the cab of my 04 Granite, I did the floor of the Granite also, Macks have issues with radiant heat on the firewall of V8 trucks and the floor of all of em. I promise its worth the time and money, I have two project packs sitting here waiting on time to pull all the interior out of my 85 and do the whole cab in it. I have been a believer since I used it on the first truck and I've used it ever since.How about the cheapie Lowes or Home Depot alternatives.?? Have any experience with that stuff?

Outbehindthebarn Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Does anyone know where the orange wire 2nd from bottom goes? LOL. I was bored today so I figured I would tear the dash out and count the wires. I was getting about ready to paint the interior and thought I would pull the dash off and do a better job. Then I found some bad wire repairs so I spent the day cutting out unused wires and fixing others. No wonder I never get much done.Jesus that looks like a lot of work.

Dirtymilkman Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have always wanted to put a ch style tilt and telescoping steering column in a r cab. No roof vent?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg1 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 No roof vent. I figured as long as the ac worked I wouldn't need it and I don't have to worry about it leaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Watts sells the new roof vent and the rubber seal, saw one at Litiz over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I've plated mine also. Had rust under the lights in front of it so just plated the lot. Mind you there wasn't a vent in mine, just a flat plate held in by rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post keg1 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2015 I got the brake lining, cans, and slack adjusters on. Started running air lines. Forgot about painting brackets for valves so got them cleaned up and painted. Cleaned up the inside wheels and got them painted. Now if i get time i'll have to get outside wheels polished. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
