Well knocked the seats out. Not too bad.


Threw them out in the sun to get the wrinkles out. You can see in the 2nd photo which one has been outside longer

Got the seats in. Console still needs some work but I’ll wait till I have the dash in to mess with it.

Got the doors mounted up. Working on getting everything done and installed, then I'll spend the time to really clean everything up.

Pulled the dash and got the new one in.


Wired up the cluster and headlight switch and everything works! Ran into an issue with the HVAC wiring but I think I found a work-around.

Dang, you’ve been busy! Are you going to do the Denali conversion on the exterior?

I see you have that crack on the dash that most of these get.



It’s caused by the metal clip on the bezel that goes into that slot on the dash. The slot isn’t enclosed on the left side, so the clip pushes the bottom part of it down and eventually cracks at the top. On mine, I took some pliers and flattened that clip a bit. It still holds well but doesn’t put pressure on the plastic. I added a little black butyl tape in there to help keep the clip in place.

Anyways, it’s something to keep in mind. Good luck with the truck!

I'd be a lot further along if it wasn't so dang hot! Supposed to be the last week of over 100 temps so I should start moving on this soon.


Thanks for the tip! The worst part was it wasn't as bad before I slapped it in there, the dash slipped a little and I grabbed trying to hold it up and CRACK. Going to be buying one of those dash skins to cover it all up, so should be alright. Still sucked though haha.
