: anyone elses truck feel like a 747 cockpit
BlueBurby1 01-29-2008, 10:49 PM my truck is starting to feel like the cockpit of a 747 with gauges and switches and buttons everywhere....i know what each one does too which is beyond most of my friends...just wondering how many of you out there know how i feel
TheBac 01-29-2008, 10:53 PM Yep. Love it.
bccorvette 01-29-2008, 10:58 PM I am getting there too. Maybe if I upgrade my CB I could talk to some airplanes and really get the feal:rolleyes:
Rttoys 01-29-2008, 11:00 PM That's how I like it.:) Driveing is boreing without buttons, switches and knobs to play with.:D

TRMN8R 01-30-2008, 07:44 PM Not enough for me.................can't have enough gauges, switches, knobs, etc IMHO.
schulte 01-30-2008, 07:50 PM Ohhh yeah. Pillar gauges, overhead panel with toggle switches on it, Whelen control box in the roof, radar detector on the windshield, DSP5 switch on the dash, another switch panel on the knee bolster...
TRMN8R 01-30-2008, 08:01 PM ........................still not enough!;)
BlueBurby1 01-30-2008, 08:40 PM lol....by the time i'm done, theres gonna be the stereo, the CB, the Scanner, 9 auxililary lighting switchs, siren button(off road use), secondary horn(asshole use), Code Three Wrecker Light bar control, Musical horn(entertainment use), glow plug button, high idle....nuff yet?
schulte 01-30-2008, 09:13 PM Anyone know the song "Big Boy Toys" by Aaron Tippin?
BudTX 01-30-2008, 10:15 PM Keith (aka Nasty Girl) needs to chime in here. A 747 cockpit is probably less congested than what he looks at when he drives.
BLUE72CAMARO 01-31-2008, 11:57 AM Alright guys I want to see some pics of you guys setups! I am trying to figure out where to start mounting things in the my truck since I had to restart from scratch!

BlueBurby1 01-31-2008, 10:15 PM lol...i'll post a pic...but it's ridiculous..i just cut holes and mount shit where it fits lol
DrededSS 01-31-2008, 11:41 PM I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow. My CB is on the right side under the steering wheel instead of on the side like you have it lousianarebel. I lean my leg there while driving long distances. I hid my train horn LED indicator, compressor switch, and button. Trying to figure out the best place for my DSP5, and then somewhere for my CB amp.

I took that cb out and got a small one that fits in the center console. I'm still looking for a spot to put my cb amp :(

I thought about putting one in the center console also. Would have taken a little work to get it in there. However, my friend is at school learning about fiberglass work in cars. So we might make some changes at a later date.
bccorvette 02-01-2008, 10:58 AM Check out my garage for pics. My Pioneer radio has a USB port that I ran into the glovebox and I have an 8GB memory stick in it for my music. Also put my amp on toggle so that it would not cause interference with my CB when I really need to reach out and touch somebody.:D
sowilson 02-01-2008, 01:25 PM It's great isn't it. Just waiting around for warmer weather so I can add more guages and switches.
