Truck is looking super clean. I kind of like the matte black stripe on the top. Makes it stand out. As if all the other work you've put into this rig doesn't make it stand out. Lol. Awesome job.

Great looking truck!

I had the idea of replacing my dash with a darker grey from the junkyard. I got about halfway through the uninstall process and found 2 screws in the upper corner where the A pillar is. I could not come close to getting them off. You say if I had taken off the pillar plastic I could get them off? Or do I have to remove the windshield too? Thanks!

Keep up the great work!

I purchased them out of an '03 F150 at the local junkyard and used them in my '93 Flareside for a bit. Was selling my truck on Craigslist, and Jim simply wanted the seats, and after trying a few times to get me to part with them, I did :P

if the two screws you are talking about near the A pillar posts are the ones i think your talking about then yes they are able to be removed by detaching the door weatherstrip and prying the dash forward just a tad with a large screwdriver, this will give you just enough clearance to get the screw out. as far as the screws on the top of the dash, the windshield was already out so getting them out was a breeze, they look to be very difficult to remove if the windshield was installed

Personally I would keep them cloth. In the future you will thank yourself, leather cracks too easily, especially in this Florida sun.
