Re: My New Truck
Ok, Here's few pics from the show with the new Steelies (show had a much better turnout than I expected), Just like Short Haul's I did the Wheel vintiques in 16" x 8" with 265/75/16's.
Now to start on the other sides hub cap's! |

Re: My New Truck
That green 72 is my old truck. I’m pulling up to my spot in the second picture.

Re: My New Truck
Ok in going through my gauges (1973) I have come across what I would call an anomaly. My temp gauge looks like this, it goes from 100 to 250. Yet every other 1973 temp gauge looks like the C/ H temp gauge seen in the bottom photo. The font (of the 100-250 gauge) matches my trucks other gauges and it DOES NOT match the font of the newer trucks, plus we have owned the truck since it was 2 years old and the gauge cluster has never been apart.
Has anybody else seen a stock 1973 temp gauge going from 100 to 250? All other gauges in the truck match the other 1973 gauge clusters I have seen.

Do you have an updated pic or video of this new gauge set up? I have a 77 and I am curious if I should do something similar. I do not like not having a Tach. Thanks! Sven |

This winter I plan to finish it. Here is the latest mock up of the 8000 RPM tach and the rest of the factory gauges. Tach face fonts are now the same size and scale as the Speedo (Note needles are just lying on the gauges they are not attached yet).

Re: My New Truck
Here is the decal I apply to the fuel gauge face. (note the bigger fonts on the Tachometer gauge now).
