Yes they are Stiles and it was not hard to do..I know that because I did it myself and I am not handy. The CB is on switch #4..The rear view camers is on # 3 and the Doran is on #2..# 1 is reserved for the air horn compressor as soon as I find one LOUD enough.

Ya know... It is getting to where these new trucks are looking more and more like the cockpit of a 747. Remember the days when we just had an AM radio, heater controls and a cigarette lighter which was ACTUALLY supposed to be for lighting cigarettes?!?
Now you have to have a pre-flight checklist to go to the corner grocery store. Oh, that's right... we don't have those anymore either.
BTW, do you ever wonder who invented the cigarette lighter power cord? Hope he a had a good patent on that...

Rich & Helen. that is one fine looking machine you have there. Thanks for posting some pics. I was wondering what it would look like next to your newer Montana. Looks like it matches up pretty nice.

Ron, if you look carefully, you will notice that it really closely matches a Big Sky...

Mean looking, nice truck Rich. I was thinking the inside interior looked like the inside of the space shuttle! So many gauges and gadgets.

Rich,
I noticed your license plate - DIY 9893. Are you gonna change your MOC number to 9893 now that you are a DIY'er? Nice job, btw.

Hey Rich now that's a head turner. Last post about the gauge you didn't post the price on the gauge did you find out what to cost ya. The single gauge looks better than having two!

Rich, that is very nice but something is missing. Where is the computer stand that you had in your old truck?

Nice job, Rich. Try J. C. Whitney for the Hadley horn kit. 130 DB. Unless you go with train horns, can't get any louder.
I have mounted my 5 gallon air tank on my truck, my train horns are down the tracks somewhere.....

"Ron, if you look carefully, you will notice that it really closely matches a Big Sky..." Dave NO NOT ever mention that again"....Illini Trekker.. Can't find the invoice for the guage alone but the total bill..Pre turbo probe and installation, guage and installation was 387.76. It is a single guage but can see every parameter at the diagnostic port.
http://www.aeroforcetech.com/ The cockpit is crowded enough without having 3 or 4 more guages so the easy to read single guage that can read everything was a selling point for me....and the guys who designed the guage are NASA engineers who live nearby and I was able to prowl around the shop and ask many questions and since I am a old FAA tech I could actually understand most of the "engineer speak" We are using my 08 Ford 6.4L for beta testing as many parameters are different from the 6.0l..Example.. volume of air intake and that effects many parameters. Don't know about the newer GM and Dodge??? I am looking at Pre turbo EGT, trans temp, Coolant temp,Oil temp, Boost, Fuel level,thus far and they are all accurate. I can preset any 8 parameters to cycle through at a predetermined rate and monitor them two at a time. I am still playing with it... Steve..funny that you would mention that..one of our neighbors compares our preparing to leave for Florida to a shuttle launch..we are now at F-17 and counting. We did all the "under the 3400 checks" yesterday and start on the interior checks today. All systems are thus far go...no holds..
Mud chief... The hardware for the stand is installed on the floor but we only put it up when on a long trip..OZZ.. I have my eye on those horns..
