Really like the look of the seats with the leather? I have the same seat in cloth and would really like to do what you did. Was that a kit or you have someone recover them. Thx

Shortly there after put in the Flame River Polished Aluminum Titl Steering and Grant Signature Series Steering wheel.

Thanks!

They were cloth out of a 2003 truck. I had them covered with a local upholstery shop. They are not real leather...but only cost me $300. Thats with any color combination or type. I picked the preforated red in center.

After playing around in the Ign Unfused portion of the fuse box to hook up a direct like to the HEI yesterday or the day before, I was sure
I had dislodged the cluster feed wire, since my headlight adjustment test last night had me in the dark....as far as the dash lights go, at least.

Looked under there today.....with a flashlight. Everything was hooked up as I had left it. The 3A Cluster Feed fuse looked good.

But I had slept on the issue last night and couldn't figure out what else could have been the problem. So, I pulled the fuse and gave
it a good look in the sun. Looked good. My eyes are pretty good. I trust them.

But those squiggly-lined 3A fuses are tricky. So I decided to put the continuity tester on it. Bad fuse. Not bad anywhere I could tell
even after taking it over to the bench and shining a light on it with different backgrounds behind the glass tube. Still...Bad tube.

New fuse in. Dash lights on.

Just a tip for anyone else who trusts his eyes more than his brain....Like me.

Here's two "starts" (used two different cabs), and the "stop" (for now).

Well, not really today, but thought I would share.
What started out as a a simple replacing the temperature gauge turned into a refurbishing of the gauge cluster. I took everything apart, cleaned the bezel, blasted and repainted, and painted all the needles. I then decided to go a little further and converted the ammeter to a voltage gauge. Happened to find a voltmeter from a early 80's era truck in the boneyard. The actual mechanicals are identical to the early trucks, so all it took was swapping the face from my old ammeter to the new gauge, and install the original needle. It is set so when in the middle it indicates 13 VDC. I think this will be much more useful for indication.





If I was a little more ambitious, I might of had a new overlay made for the gauge, but will be happy with this.
Oh and the gauge was a freebie, total cost including the new temp gauge and paint, is about $49. Not too bad for a couple evening's work.

Went to mom and dad's. Got to going through some of my grandparents papers that mother had questions about I found a bunch of interesting old stuff my Granddad brought back from the service with him.He never did talk about the Army but about him and his twin brother's escapades they had.

I posted some pics in the cool old car section. But look here.....Guys I miss him

I undercoated my cab, not today, but yesterday. :-)



I used Herculiner, brushed the first coat, sprayed the second coat, then followed up with Herculiner UV protection.
