I found a 69 70 @ the junkyard awhile back with 3 guages already taken off laying in the seat. Would that be a good starting point (i'll be gettin a new bezel most likely)

Id like to redo another bezel so my turck isnt down (its my DD)

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
ya that would be good and ya getting a new guage cluster always helps the dash every time that and a dash pad i still need to get a red dash pad

Ok, I got a grommit for my heater box in the mail, should be here in the next week (yay no duct tape!)

And I ordered a 69-72 3 hole guage bezel (chrome/black) from Tim christian aka top banana I hope he sends some stickers they have a COOL logo lol

I went to the junkyard today, they wanted $25 for a 3 hole 69-up guage bezel. Seemed a little high (I just wanted to use the guages to restore and then swap into my new bezel that im getting, then install in my truck...)

Oh well does anyone have an antenna?

67chevy1series 01-07-2011 10:11 PM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
i have the base of one but the rest is toast!:lol: nice job on the bezel ,the stickers!:lol:

oldblue1968chevy 01-07-2011 10:27 PM

Re: "Rice Rocket'
 
Base of antenna?

I have the antenna, but no cord lol

yeah i'll have pix when i get it and during the whole process too, i REALLY hope I get some stickers, they are pretty funny/cool looking (little monkeys etc etc lol)
