Topic: need first gen pictures and info

[cgbemis]

I am looking to finish off my 82 project, and I need some help. I need to know if someone can get me a picture of their dash. I am missing parts, and need to know what to ask yards for. Second, the truck was originally blue, but has rusted away prietty good over the years. Is there a color blue spray paint that matches the factory blue of the first gens? It doesn't have to be spot on, but close enough. Thanks for any help you can give.

I can't remember exactly who, but I'm pretty sure duplicolor makes some good vinyl/plastic spray dye.  I've used it on interior parts before, you just need to make sure the parts are very clean and completely dry before you treat them

Here you go. Here are a couple of my 79. I don't Know if it's the same as yor 82 but good luck.

Here are some pics of the dash in my 1980.  Every dash part is original EXCEPT for the lower dash piece with the A/C and heater vents (as well as the aftermarket A/C's green push button switch).   

I just got the lower dash piece with vents from Jeff at Toy Connection (750 Comstock St., Santa Clara, CA 95054, (408) 988-4040) (see first pic).  I am sure that he can find any of the parts that you are looking for.  In my case, I wanted the A/C dash part in beige to match the original interior color.  Jeff used some vinyl dye on the part he had in stock, and as you can see, he got it to match pretty damn well. 

I will be getting another dash piece from him soon.  As you can see, I need the lower dash piece with the ammeter and oil presure guages, which fits below my "new" center vent piece.  And, I also would like to find a pair of in tact defroster vents to replace my busted ones shown in the last pic.

These pictures are what I'm looking for. I'll see about calling up that shop. Thanks for the help guys.

Also, if anyone knows of someone parting out a first gen, let me know. Thanks again.

I have a mostly complete blue dash with dash pad in good condition.  Let me dig through the garage and see what all pieces I have.  Trade for for your IFS box

Sorry I haven't updated that thread in a while. I no longer have the IFS Box for sale. But I would be willing to make some sort of a deal. Let me know.
