    Exactly! Impossible to see that thing.
    Any time I wanted to check the time I had to change lanes.

    Not exactly. I was in the zone today and wasn't to be bothered by anyone or anything let alone taking pictures.

    I actually used the clock housing so I didn't have to fabricate a new backing plate or anything. Just took the clock apart, pulled all the guts out and then cut out a rectangle out with a dremel big enough to fit both switches in the clock faceplate. Then cut another rectangle in the clock backing plate so the switches could pass through.

    It wasn't hard, just a lot of measuring. I only had one shot to get it right so I measured a ton of times. To make things a little easier, I made a stencil out of a manila folder first and then traced that onto the faceplate.

    Right on. I figured you would have to make a new backing plate, so that's neat. I wired up my switches into the blanks by the 12v outlets, but it's kind of a reach if I need to turn off my lights quickly.

    That's why I'm putting not so important things like Rock lights that won't get used everyday down there! & important stuff on my aluminum panel in the vacant radio pocket space. Here's how I did my clock switch panel for in cab winch controls

    i asked santa for a single din radio so that i can have a switch panel like this. is it just resting in there or did you still have to get one of those dash kits?

    It utilizes the factory radio brackets which you would use for and aftermarket radio as well and bolts into place. It's first gen specific and completely replace the pocket that would come with the install kit do you don't actually need the kit since all it comes with is the pocket basically... All you need is the harness for the new radio that plugs into the factory truck plugs
