67C10rustbuket, on you mount bracket, I would recommend you slot the initial three holes you use to mount to gauge console. I missed a step from LS171Nova, where you verify the speedo is centered. Mine came out too far to the right. Unfortunately, I already drilled all the other holes before I checked. Slotting those 3 holes would allow repossissioning the mount before drilling the rest of the mount holes. Otherwise, worked great and definitely glad I went this way. Thanks. Jim
Slot these 3 holes. |

To others: I know several are waiting on me to finish boxes and I have yet to finish them. I have been swamped at work with our new machinery and filling engineer requests. I will try to get them done asap, hopefully the big guys leave me alone today so I can work on them ;). |
Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I expect it was due to the reproduction gauge housing and back tin. It didn't want to lineup with the new glass or the new console face that it mounts to. Minor adjustment and all is fixed. I just need to pay attention to the procedure steps. Good product anyways. Thanks again for making these. Jim

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Don't know about originals. Never had one or looked at one long or close enough to remember what they looked at. Next time I'm in my shop I'll get a better pic and post it. Jim

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Yeh, Me too. Haven't been able to find any anywhere. Last major hurdle to putting it in the truck. That and some free time. Sorry BigRed, it's going to be a while before I can get that pic of the tach. Back at work. Jim

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Did a quick interweb search and found these. I've never used this company, so I know nothing about them, but this looks like the socket that will work. http://www.classictruck.com/product/...llaneous_Items

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I am going to use these. wired twist lock 194/168 sockets. Just like original but wired. They are not self grounding but the twist lock is the correct size for easy install. They are LED compatible or use original bulbs.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
ls1nova, this is an awesome thread... I haven't seen one like this in a long time in any of the forums I'm a member of. I'm sure the question has been asked before, but is kinda hard reading through 270+ posts; have you guys nailed down this type of retrofitting for the 73-87 trucks? just wondering, thanks in advance, I love seeing people make their ingenuity flourish.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Sorry if I missed it on here but is anyone using LED lamps instead of bulbs for the gauge back lighting? If yes, where are you getting them ? part numbers? thanks
