What I did

Palms,it is wood ,cut to fit the opening and press into cubby about half an inch ,it stays in place by friction. I then board a hole to fit the clock flush. Then covered the front and sides with black faux leather.

Serow, that's a very cool clock. I looked at one that was 2 3/4 inches and was afraid I would have to modify the dash,so I decided to go small. I can't tell how large your clock is but I'm guessing about 4 inches ,so it's your call. The very front of the opening flares out so if your clock is...

Good idea, I did a very similar thing for those reasons.

Fabmav ,the faux stitching came from a local parts house, I don't recall the name of it, I thought it looked good so thanks for the good words.The only problem with it is the factory glue was weak and tended to turn loose if the truck sat out in the sun ,so I took it off and used spray glue and...

Richard, funny, there was a time when an analog clock was in most cars, usually the same size as the speedometer, or a small one in the middle of the dash, but that was when the ignition was on the dash and the dimmer switch was on the floor.

Automan, you are right on the size, and as soon as it came in I was hesitant to install it, but had to see what it was going to look like. Good call

My idea on how to fill this useless opening, I prefer analog anyway.

This works well for me. Note that I built it to be level with the inner finders to maintain a plywood load

That's a nod to the Boss 302, I really like it,good job.

You know I don't camp,for several reasons, age being the number one,but that's pretty cool,I can see it being a lot of fun

I don't know what the side badges are replicating, but I figured a cold air intake,so I did this to finish the look, the xl red is vinyl

I wasn't satisfied with the paint edge on the wheels, the black blead under the tape, not much but I could see it, so I used a vinyl pin strip to cover the transition.

That is a solid idea, I like it. For me, I was trying for that late 60s early 70s rally wheel, but that's why we make these mavericks our own.

I to have had leather for many years, i was impressed with the color and comfort of my XL seats, bought a can of scotch guard and applied 3 coats on the entire cloth ,front and rear,don't know how long it will last in a vehicle, but it now beads liquid. I'm going with them for a while.

Sorry I didn't make a drawing,the best I can tell you is cut you some 2x2 and lay them out on the truck bed where you want them and carefully mark them to overlap. You will need to clear the fender, and when flipped ,clear the bed cover( which is roughly 17 inches) and then lay about 1 inch from...

Rudedog,good thought,however the hollow areas in the bed side for a devider is the only location I could see to place the uprights and not have to drill the metal side. With out making the rack with another set of angles (each set of angles in wood makes the rack weaker even using glue and...

I did go to the local harbor freight for that and they were out,expecting more in a few days, I wanted to get it dune on the next day ,to take advantage of the good temperatures and no rain. I think it will do for the light duty I'll be hauling

Thanks,it was a fun project

Ok ,all the joints are on 45 degrees, and choose a hard wood to make your gussets if you can find it, I used Maplewood to keep all those joints ridged
