Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10

Between yesterday and today I took off front bumper and prepared it for installation of my NOS painted bumper guards. Why this truck has an almond top and bumper, I dunno, but that is what things got painted to fit in with what was there. I'm glad I found a set of the painted ones. I really didn't want to go with chrome to get the guards.

I also started on setting up the new dash. I had all this stuff, so rather than buying one of the new digikal things, I decided I will put my own together. The empty lower gauge is for the secondary tank's gauge which is still in the current gauge panel. Got the tins painted chrome to better reflect lights. I have new bulb sockets and LEDs to better light things up. I'll be using factory fuel and speedo. I'm wiring up my own harness so I can eliminate the plastic circuit board thingie. Slowly but surely. Trying to do as much prep work so it won't be down long when actually do the AC and rewiring.
