EDIT: Lessons learned to date:
You can't install a dash if there is a rollcage bar in the way as in full cage family cages
Install as much as you can on the dash before install.
Install the aftermarket glovebox while dash is on a table if you are rewiring.
Do not install fragile heater control cable going to heater valve on heater hose until ready to install, thats a very fragile piece I bent flipping the dash over and over.
Install defrost duct, and defrost hoses while dash on table.
.
It's been 10 years of having a dash off in one form or the other and finally getting to dash install, which is the question.
I have the red bronco body/interior book. Which does nothing to help answer: what is the order?
I've searched and found nothing on install order, I know if I just went out and started it would probably go together but, it's all powdercoated new and "im afraid to hurt it making errors slapping this in. And it's heavy with everything already in it.
Heat core and everything related to pedals installed. Firewall gasket/heat pad installed.
Dash is built up, wired. Tuffy box already in dash cause well, can't get to it on the truck with heater core/roll cage in the way.
New windshield installed. Window folded forward.
PLan:
1. Install dash, bolts on sides, center bolt. Feed heater controls and such into position. Install heater ducts while balancing this with four hands.
2. Dash pad on top with screws.
3. Rubber gasket under window seem and fold window into position, screw window frame into dash with two side bolts and tie into roll cage at top.
What am I missing?
