Spent some time with the kerosene and brushes.....cleaning the redblock before the transplant...
Original Isuzu dashboard was a little irritating, and the top layer was cracked beyond belief....got a dash cap, but still was going to take some effort. Heater and fan in this truck are useless. I snagged everything out of the '87 245 donor car, rather than throw it all away..they're good pieces to test fit with, at least.
The dash from the truck was welded in sheet metal....so it's not replaceable...and the cover was glued on....no way other than destruction!
As planned, the 240 dash went in, with less than an inch of trimming....just ground the foam off the sides....still need to clean up the shape at the windshield some.
It's in, which is the first step....still wanna mount it with the 240 brackets, and lock it in place. Fan/heater box is going in next, along with the gauge cluster, and 3-gauge pack.
