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

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... :bann:

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.

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!

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

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.

I see your tags are on the passenger side pillar?? Mine are on the drivers side. Did the factory change the location?

We should call our trucks "BOAT's" as in BUST OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND. :lol:

I received my newly polished headlight surrounds from the metal polisher today. Even my mom was impressed and she hates my truck! (Dad loved them though).
