Thanks for the confirmation, Chooglin.
I enjoyed looking the pics of your rebuild in your signature line. I had seen some of them before. Thought that I was looking at my truck when I saw the pic of your headlight buckets and your gauges! I finished my gauges last year and the buckets this year.
Glad that you posted pics of the ash tray and radio grill. Even though Tim had posted some, yours were a good reminder to only paint every other bar. Betcha I would have painted every one of them.

If you want to avoid banging your knee on the turn signal flasher, I believe that the flasher bracket for the factory turn signals was mounted on the "hidden" side of the dash, left of the steering column. The flasher bracket for your after-market turn signals looks the same as the GM bracket pictured in the Acc Manual.

It was a dealer installed option, so it may have been one that the dealer had in inventory. Older style Recirculating pull-knob. Maroon instead of black temp control knob. Wouldn't change a thing, it's just part of the history of the truck.

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m00xukIbSI1qjps02o1_500.jpgThere was a discussion recently regarding the type of retainer that holds the glove compartment lock in place. One was a "horse shoe" bracket that wrapped around the back of the lock. The other was a collar over the lock at the back of the glove box door. You have the collar. Don't know if you posted a pic of it. I'll search for the thread and post your pic if you don't mind.
EDIT: This is just too funny ...I searched for the glove-box-lock thread. YOU were the original poster. It's plain to see that your question and the discussion in the thread made an impression on me.
Thanks again for your help,
