the dash

Some where in Eleanor's history, the dash was apart before. The plastic heater switch mechanism was discovered to be broken when we freed it.

Hard to tell. But somewhere along the line in this trucks life, the radio mount was "hogged" out. Not sure what I will do about that...

When the dash was taken out the first time (not me), some how the dash got a nice notched dent and hole in it (top right of pic). Cant see it when the dash is in the truck... but definitely can see it when its out and I will know its there...

so, now thats a small wiring harness.

Time to clean this up and remove the old wiring harness and lay in the 1996 donor harness.

What could go wrong?:fustrate:

Just got done reading through the whole thread and I gotta say, wow! Love watching these things unfold. (unfortunately sometimes in more ways than one). And about that "crummy" comment in the beginning, as a west coaster, I think that means the same thing as "in poor condition" lol.

Its above my paygrade too. But I like puzzles. And I like to learn. This will either break me (and my fragile mind), or it be something to be proud of.

With my youngest boy watching me on this, I don't want to fail. so break me it is!

You could be right in regards to the condition related aspect. Either way, gonna plow through this one way or the other...

Was talking with a friend about Eleanor, and Power Strokes in general, when he stated "have you seen the Noveske Ford Crew Cab?".

No, no I had not.

Has anyone seen this? Its a PS powered 70's crew cab out in Washington. I have been looking for any information on the build. To no avail. Anyone else know where I could find the build write up on it?
