what I got....
 
hey folks, just thought I would share my Christmas joy...I got 3 Autometer gauges, The Painless gauge wiring harness, and three Painless indicator lights (for blinkers and high beams). As far as the gauges they are Ultralight in dash units, 5" tach and 2 5/8" oil pressure and fuel gauge. Now I just have to buy the speedometer, water temp, and trans temp.

I am soo pumped, I can't wait to install them.

What did everyone else get...car/truck related of course. :) :)

Merry X-mas everyone!

A t shirt that says "still plays with trucks......." and a tie tack in the shape of a Chevy bowtie with K5 in the center. Must be from the early 70's.

Happy Holidays!

I got my present before the holliday, since I had to go pick it out and pick it up. ;) A nice roll away Craftsman tool box! Then I got Kelly (the wife) a billet grill for her '02 Silverado. Now to find time to install it.

I got nothing for the truck. But I did get some money that will be spent on the headers. I also got some gift certificates that I will be spending on a digital camera. I also got some tools, clothes, and some stuff for arouns the house.

The only thing I got truck related is some speaker boxes, but they aren't here yet.

It was a nice Christmas though.

fanman 12-26-2002 07:49 PM

I got a new set of tires and $20.00 worth of gas.

c10scotty 12-26-2002 10:38 PM

well i didnt really get much truck related 'cept for some cleaning stuff...wax, etc. but i did get a dvd player, and i went down and bought the entire entertainment system today....that $700 was sure hard to let go of, but man is it awesome! i did get some cash though that will go into my truck at some point for sure.

BigRed 12-26-2002 11:19 PM

I got a $20 gift certicate to pep boys and some cash for my truck. :)

1FaastC10 12-26-2002 11:56 PM

well... lets see... 1/2" drive impact wrench, bench grinder, a new vise, a new cordless drill. i'd say i did pretty good.

J-Spec C10 12-27-2002 12:10 AM

I got a digital camera, a micro sized RC car (looks like a skyline r34) and some various gifts. More importantly I got to go home & see the family. Being away for school kinda sux.

PHOENIX 12-27-2002 11:48 AM

OK I bought a digital camera with some gift certificates I got and a check from good old grandpa :) I bought the Canon A40 (2.0 mega pixels). Not a super high quality camera, but it is very nice. It has many features I wanted, like burst mode (2.5 pictures every second), video mode (up to around 5 minutes @ 320 x 240), and TV out put (so you can plug it into any TV and view your pictures/movies). I like it very much and already killed the batteries that came with it. I hope to get some good pictures of my truck this weekend or next.

I have the AutoMeter Ultra-Lite gauges (silver ring with silver face) installed in my truck and I'll get a picture of those for you. They are installed over the bezel opposite of swervins. Most people don;t like them this way, but I really like the look of the ring/bezel on them. They also match my sterio and the interior trim I plan to add later.

For the curious people heres a link to the camera I got and I would highly recommend it. http://www.powershot.com/powershot2/a40-30/index.html

bigblock73 12-27-2002 01:14 PM

Hurry up Eddie, I am curious to see the gauges installed! :)

Big Paul 12-27-2002 04:16 PM

Got some money for headers, and a $50 gift card to Autozone, thats all vehicle related.....

Tom 12-27-2002 08:33 PM

I got money for truck stuff, so in reality I got: [4] 255/60/15 tires,
a hurst indy 4 speed shifter, a battery, a fuel system for the 78, new front fenders for the 79, and a 1 1/4" sway bar for the 79.
Because I have those tires, I can now install the 5/6 drop kit [thats been sitting in the backyard for months] on the 79. Ah, christmas was good to me this year......

79BIG10 12-29-2002 12:59 AM

My new valve covers, still need to order new wire looms, dremel tool, truck parking sign, and other misc. stuff not for truck. Valve covers were my favorite. Oh one more was a new digital camera. Once I get the engine cleaned up with new covers and looms I'll post some pics :)

how much was it and where didyou get it?

79BIG10 12-29-2002 03:19 AM

Ryan I got mine (not Canon) from Wal-Mart for $148.00 and was 8MB on board memory with slot for card (not included) and also has 2.1 mega pixels.

PHOENIX 12-30-2002 01:01 PM

Mine was $249 which seems to be the standard price for it. I had $150 gift certificate so I only paid $100 for it. Then I bought a 128 MB card with another gift certificate. I played with this camera alot more this weekend. And I am happy with my purchase.

Tom when you installing that drop?
