It's coming along nicely 89dlx. You'll really thank yourself for removing and thouroghly cleaning the dash assembly. Now would be a great time to throw in an aftermarket carpet kit. It would look like a brand new truck.

 

I'll be installing a new carpet, but only when it's running and the inside is back together. I dont want to install one and get it dirty while I'm still working on it.

Update: the cab mounts are cracked, but not bad enough for me to spend the $320.00 for them. Probably afterwards, but not now. I got the insulation in today. I still need to do some cleaning and install it. Then I'll install the new heater core and the rest of the parts (heater box/dashboard) I'll clean at work on Saturday.

I keep forgetting to bring my drill and drill bits. I broke a couple of bolts removing stuff like the computer and brackets under the hood.

I'll probably have another update early next week.

 

yeah rod knock fixes never ever ever turn out just getting repaired
awesome job and great find..... love the pics too......

 

good luck and looks good so far
