yes Brad... agreed... as I became more and more intimate with the truck, it was appearant that this was the way to go with the dash... really looks sweet installed
If anyone is a wiring wizard... this is a 68, and as you know there are many one year only parts... not sure about the turns signal switch. Took one from a donor 69, seemed to have the same wires, same number count, but I ended up with an extra wire from the turn signal switch.. I have left front blinkers, nothing on th right, and no power to the rear at all

That bus looks awesome. Its really stunning. You're going to have every mail carrier in the country coming up to you with a litany of questions! 
I don't know what's in the water this winter, but there sure seems to be a record number of projects involving buses! And they all seem to be huge "all in" projects involving full paint and mechanicals. No shortcuts this year!
So what's the history on this bus? Is this the same bus that was in your shop in Columbus a couple years back?
