[QUOTE=Whitmore;25706]cool man..now get you a chunk of 3/8" pipe insulation the foam stuff and run it down the stick to the rubber boot :up:



I got a better Idea!

This is a proto-type, the second verson will have flushed set screws for the knob!

Thanks for the insperation Whitmore!

so how much, i see the start of a basement enterprise here, care to make any for the old 5spd guys with the bent shifter, that looks absolutely awsome

I'm not sure how one would look bent, I suppose I could try? Here is the problem with the basment enterprise, I've got $60 bucks and 2 1/2 hours labor into the shaft and knob. USPS.com says shipping would cost $5 to $10 flat rate. I'd have to get at least $100 bucks to make it worth it to me to mass produce. Send me a pic of your bent shifter, I've never seen one.

this aint my truck, i dont have an interior pic of it but heres what one looks like, im not sure if it woudl look good or not, i wonder if you can use the straight shifter on the older trucks

I haven't really built anything to special for my truck.
My trailer didn't have a loading ramp when I bought it so I built one; here is the ramp I finished a few weeks ago.
I used 1x1 square tubing to support the plywood with 1x2 side rails. I made the hinge out of 2X2 angle and 1/4 x 3" flat stock. It folds up flush inside the back door and I built a locking latch to hold it in place.

Relocate radio, install gages on 02 3500
 

Have been playing around with where to mount 3 gages, have a Sony radio with CD/cdrw player extra i bought some month ago, found this under dash radio bracket, bought pigtails from factory radio, is a premium unit with CD player, to Sony unit
Waiting on 2 more gages i ordered from VULCAN, is going to install and connect a 3 along with low pressure light, have one light in one to go.
Took light from pocket, placed it above radio, so it is easier to change Cd's at night.
Have a pump relocating kit there need to be installed too, will do that when i adjust valves and have my injector pump friend to check/ rebuild/ replace tips as needed. Do rebuild injectors ( Lucas and repair cav pumps ), just don't have the setup for Bosch.

Side pic from right door, remote for radio/cd is behind cup.

thats looks nice.......you should market them :up:

Thanks, that what i told Eric at Vulcan he should do, is getting the rest of gages from Vulcan this week.
Bought a edge comp, think i will mount it on the radio.

where did you get that radio mount...i need one also since that cubby hole is useless to me

I like that! Very good idea, and well put together. Make sure to post up some finished pics.

The under dash mount came from circuit city, was going to buy one on line, was not sure of fit, would have take it back if no go.
It fit perfect, did not have to do anything but 2 brackets on bottom, 1 on top.
Will take pic's when i get the rest installed.
Making the plate for gauges was easy using alu plate.

have bag it came in, will look tomorrow and post part #

Have that part Number for us :)

left over in shop, will bring it tomorrow.

You guys are doing amazing things to your trucks. Great work.

I fabricated my own PCV by-pass system with filtration.
Switch and light panel to replace 4X4 panel cubby hole.
Mounting system to aim train horns straight down under bed.
Custom flex bend and mounts for 5" stack.

Heres a couple of things I made.First stacks thru my toolbox.Next my rear bumper,and last my winch behind my rear bumper.

That is some amazing fab work. Very nice job. :U::U:

That hidden winch is a great idea. :U::U:

Thanks for the comments.Ive had that winch on my trailer for close to ten years and never really used it that much because maintaining batteries for infrequent use was a pain,so decided to hang it under the truck instead so maybe it would actually get some use!

So far, fuel filter mount, traction bars, pulling hitch, weight bar, EGR delete and getting ready to do drive shaft loops.

Traction bars, breather tank and mount, diamond plate y-pipe cover for stacks, and what ever else i can get from this piece of diamond plate

im in the prosess of making up a new center console, relocating my CD player and trying to find a decent place to mount my guages, all will be custom and ill post finished pics when im done.

My completed y-pipe cover.:woot:

What are the adjustments for in the winch pictures?

the switch box
 

Did you make that switch box? If not where did you buy it?

Brother, that is a damn fine bumper and winch set up. :up:

Trent, nice look on that y-pipe cover, yall didnt have that when I stopped by CR to see your truck last fall!

Thanks!! Just got it done a couple weeks ago.

im likin your camo coat i see in your stack there trent

bumper
 

If you ever sell thta rear bumper i would love to have it.... Where in NY are you from. Im from Hyde Park?

Their just one of my hair brained idea,s.I had to mount the winch high in the frame (another story)and where I had to position it left very few options for mounting of cross members for mounts.The front mount is positioned inside a factory cross member and I,m happy with its rigity,but the rear cross member is clamped to the frame then bolted up into a factory cross member.I was kinda afraid of this one trying to walk around ,putting a lota strain on the body of the winch,so since I had to have a place to mount the fair lead anyway ,I cobbed up those struts to push off the hitch and sorta vise the winch between the two cross members to prevent any movement and gave me a place to mount the fairlead,I probably worry too much.

Thanks, I probably wont be parting with it any time soon.I,m located in the small town of Byron ,about half way between Buffalo and Rochester ,quite a ways from you since I see your down in the Albany area.

My cb antenna mounts

those ar cool im actually working on a twin turbo setup for my truck using the stock turbo and a phat shaft 62

theres are the three parts i fabd you can see

thinking about fabing my own exhaust brake

Its not a AFE but was copied off of that I had to customize for the plow lights harness and what not. It has dads old AFE filter on it so my total cost into this is $40 :U: the turbo SCREAMS when I get into it now! for awhile I thought it was turbo-less since you could barely hear it.

I put the afe decal on
