Interior updates

Joe finished the new lower dash panel which will be covered in leather and will hide the ductwork and AC components under the dash.. It also gives us a new mount location for the AC vents and the musical car horn I built for the truck back in high school. We also now have the sound deadener installed and are ready for the carpet to go in.


Drivers side view of new lower dash panel. The panel wraps to finish at the doors.

Blurry shot of the center of the new dash but gives you an idea of how it looks across the truck.

Passenger side where the new lower dash panel contours to the shape of the original dash panel above.

This is the installer from Pro-Audio in Provo Utah.. He's installing Ballistics Sound deadener on the floor, firewall, doors, and cab interior panels that will be covered later by upholstery.

The new sound deadener should increase the sound quality of the stereo system, as well as keep out the road noise. Ballistic sound dampening is about 20% thicker than other sound deadeners and is about 50% cheaper too which is why it was recommended for the truck. Can't argue with those numbers! :)
