yes Brad... agreed... as I became more and more intimate with the truck, it was appearant that this was the way to go with the dash... really looks sweet installed

If anyone is a wiring wizard... this is a 68, and as you know there are many one year only parts... not sure about the turns signal switch. Took one from a donor 69, seemed to have the same wires, same number count, but I ended up with an extra wire from the turn signal switch.. I have left front blinkers, nothing on th right, and no power to the rear at all

That bus looks awesome. :D Its really stunning. You're going to have every mail carrier in the country coming up to you with a litany of questions! :lol:

I don't know what's in the water this winter, but there sure seems to be a record number of projects involving buses! And they all seem to be huge "all in" projects involving full paint and mechanicals. No shortcuts this year! :lol:

So what's the history on this bus? Is this the same bus that was in your shop in Columbus a couple years back?
