Now I get it, thanks!

Can you share a pic of your lighting setup sometime?

The filter unit I mounted to the cabinet is reading 80psi with the gun running. I have been using media from a place about 20 minutes from me. It’s been a while since I bought any new media, but I think it was the 30/60 that I went with...

Thank you for the link. That setup makes sense. I did some searching to see if that was an improvement over the Skat Blast design, and while I didn’t find a direct comparison, it did seem like that is what people are doing to make a cheap cabinet (like a HF unit) perform as well as a Skat Blast...

Interesting, Skat Blast (the company that made this one) makes parts to upgrade Harbor Freight ones. I’ll look into it, thanks.

Over 15 years ago I bought a sandblasting cabinet from work when they decided they didn’t need it any longer. I hooked it up at my old house and it wouldn’t siphon the abrasive, so I set it aside to figure out later. I decided it was finally “later”. I bought some parts to repair it and got it...

Yeah. I’m getting more and more boring as each year passes.

I decided this was a good opportunity to clean up the frame and front suspension since I didn’t do it during the initial build. I’m also going to do a GMT800 brake conversion - the 3500 dually brakes felt fine, but comparing the pad sizes between GMT400 and GMT800, the 800s have a big advantage...

The Michelin LTX is a really nice tire overall, it will be interesting to hear how you like those Toyos in comparison.

It's a great feeling when you can appreciate the results of something you've put a lot of effort into - I think that's rare. A lot of my stuff still isn't where I think it should be and that becomes an annoyance when driving them, and sometimes I realize I've made the vehicle less enjoyable...

Nope, not much at all with this generation. Actually, the biggest thing you’d get from an old dash would be the ductwork.

I dismantled the old dash today. This is all it has for metal framework. There really isn’t much at all. Not sure you’d be that much further ahead with your idea of making a full custom dash by starting with an old dash first.

I added my bluetooth mic to my deck finally while I had the dash apart. I didn't really think about it when I first put the truck together, but then one time I was streaming music and had to make a phone call and then it was an ordeal.... I snaked mine across the dash, up the A pillar and then...

Here’s a close-up of the pod. I’m sure that upper left fit more flush before, but after reassembly things are a little misaligned. I hate taking apart interior stuff - it never goes back together the way it was before. This corner is the one that has started splitting.

Mine had the factory radio controls there and an EQ/tape deck in the other spot where I have the CD player now. I had seen many people adapting cubbies and fitting 2 gauges there, but I thought I could fit 3 if I really tried. I think I had a cubby to start, but I had to cut so much of it away...

Will do.

Here’s the post showing that pod I made and with the gauges I originally had in that spot. Post in thread '1994 K3500 extended cab dually' https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/1994-k3500-extended-cab-dually.48444/post-599815

I’m inside right now so I can’t take a pic, but here’s the post from when I installed them. Post in thread '1994 K3500 extended cab dually' https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/1994-k3500-extended-cab-dually.48444/post-642790

I prefer the 95+ dash, but this style has grown on me. I just use the screen on my phone for GPS, but a larger screen at the upper level of the dash would be nice.

“New” dash is installed.
