Precise1 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Welcome! Looks like you have a little work to do, but it seems fairly straight and intact. Can't wait to see what you do with it. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman2989 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Welcome! Gonna go down the same road leading to the style on your other truck or something different with this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicnis Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 thanks for the warm welcome guys! im planning to do a poor mans resto on the pathy, keeping everything original looking ive debated doing a dash swap only because ive got a red/maroon round dash.. but ill get the truck running/legal first i was looking for a nissan beater so i can cut up the hardbody, but the beater is so nice i cant beat it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor636 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 ive debated doing a dash swap only because ive got a red/maroon round dash.. That gives me the heebie jeebies.....I've rarely seen a 94+ red interior, and never a rapist red round dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicnis Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 i think it would be great in a 2door pathy, but the square dash still has sweet gauges, its vents and factory radio. stock red interior, 94+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It DOES exist The round/square dash clusters are a little different (cable speedo vs electronic speedo comes to mind) but I know swaps have been done. I'd be inclined to stick with square just for the extra gauges, but maybe the dubious honor of having the only rapist red round dash known to NPORA would be worth doing the swap.

sicnis Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 i was looking around the forums last night and i couldnt find project build logs? i would really like to see some of the build ups around yesterday i changed the fuel filter and had the gas tank ordered woot! old optima battery is being babied at my local alternator shop here is my dash swapped hardbody, everything works except the speedo.. just havnt done the speed sensor yet custom pathy gate insert "rapist red pearl" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 "AH3" red is the one that usually has rapist red interior "Members rides" at the bottom of the forum selection screen is where the builds are. You may have to change your "search settings" to a longer time frame to get some good results though as it may have been a wHile since some people updated theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 i think it would be great in a 2door pathy, but the square dash still has sweet gauges, its vents and factory radio. stock red interior, 94+ Dear Gods, it's even uglier than I thought! I know unccpathfinder (something like that' I'll verify) did a dash swap and wrote up on it, so he is at least 1 source of good info. I just buy the vehicle with the right dash already mounted...

mluczaj22 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 good idea on the tail gate. and the red is awesome. i searched for ever till i finally found a maroon on maroon or "rapist red"pathy. also cuz all of my salvaged parts from my wrecked 87 hb were that color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Path_68CJ Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) good idea on the tail gate. and the red is awesome. i searched for ever till i finally found a maroon on maroon or "rapist red"pathy. also cuz all of my salvaged parts from my wrecked 87 hb were that color.

sicnis Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 through my rapist red collecting, ive only seen two or three red interior pathys (square dash) and quite a few red interior trucks ordering a fuel tank this weekend! cheapest ive found was jegs or summit for 140ish shipped for a dorman tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 California. We have all the red interiors you'd ever want. Except the round dashes. But I rarely get a round dash of any color in the local yards. Probably because I own a round dash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mluczaj22 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 i do have a cali model. lol. makes sense. well sicnis if you swap and have extra parts let me know. im a square dash guy and red interior guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 im a square dash guy and red interior guy. Your love of rapist red hereby banishes you from our forum! On a serious note, statistics in my local junkyards tell me rapist red are hated so much that the owner intentionally crashes for insurance purposes, or cannot keep his eyes on the road from all the evil red surrounding him and wrecks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You'll have to ban Nunya as well. Good luck with that... California. We have all the red interiors you'd ever want. Except the round dashes. But I rarely get a round dash of any color in the local yards. Probably because I own a round dash. Duh! I had to drive 90 miles to get an Xterra roof rack. Why? Because I wanted one. If I hadn't, I would have been tripping over them piled on my front lawn... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
