You can buy the colored film to get that tach to match the other gauges...

Made a little headway.. cleaned up and painted the sway bar and got it where it will live and work... along with a few other small things. Gonna get the new fuel tank mounted tomorrow.

After 5 years since teardown, I pulled my cab out of storage today.

Gotta get the bent and rusty inner cowl taken off before taking it to be media blasted and primed this coming week.

Pretty excited! I think, lol...

Found a pair of Firestone Destination A/T's new for $150, 31x10.50x15's and had them mounted on the rear. Running Michelin 235-75-15 on the front with 8" rallies. Looks a little high in the rear at first glance.
Tomorrow, I am mounting a factory 1 1/8" sway bar, should bring things together up front, replaced ball joints a month ago.
Just got done, too late for pics, maybe tomorrow....

Today I went to my computer and looked at what I just bought. And then I gave her a big smile.

[flashed]

It looks nice .

[4x4trucker]

Looks are deceiving, but it is quite straight. I always wanted this K10 and she finally gave in and sold it to me. It will some day be a real looker.

I want to thank everyone on this site for a great job in helping everyone out with their problems. I will have many!

Hood off, hinges off, hinges off to Willie's.

finally got the factory tach unit working thanks to a dakota digital sgi-8e

[Synestran]

Replaced my alternator this morning as it had finally decided to go out. Hopefully this will have solved my draining battery issue.

[BlackedOut67shorty]

Getting my rig ready to head off to work, had another wiring harness put in. Still didnt put in the radio but the cruize is having too many issues so i got rid of it. Down to two cars now and needed it up and ready case something happens to my wifeys car.

I can't really contribute to this post, but I did try to get my truck that is in Florida, I'm in Illinois. I bought it Thanksgiving and went back to get it last week, Although , I have a car trailer, my buddy wanted a tow dolly down there too. Long story short, the dolly didn't work out. The truck is only an hour closer. I had to leave the truck behind, again. Somewhere near Daytona.
I'm working on have it hauled for me now.


Just for fun I tried a nitrous bottle , but it didn't fit.
