i was even worse takin this one, i was shiftin the rachet shifter with my right hand, and steering and taking the pic with my left hand. it sure does sound good though, at 5500 rpm. i was still in first gear at 65 mph and 5500 rpm just about to shift :D:

Why does your coolant say less than 100º? ;D :D Damn dude, that's a TINY tach. How can you see that shiz!?

Always good to have a camera handy. I bought one the other day to take a pic of a '55 Chevy with side stacks! I remember we had a discussion about that along time ago. Maybe it was on the other site?

That truck does look sweet though, love the stepsides. :)

the same reason my shift indicator says i'm between P and R. they aren't hooked up. i have an after market temp guage because the hole tapped for the temp sending unit in my iron ealges won't work with a factory sending unit and the B&M shifter has its own indicator on it so the shif indicator dosen't work either:D as for the tach, i'm waiting until i can afford all the auto meters to recess in the dash, to me a huge 12 inch monster tach on the dash or steering column just looks "tacky" no pun intended:D

What rear end gears do you have? The picture shows 65 MPH, 5500RPM in REVERSE! Can you back up a trailer that fast? :confused:

I'm with you on that man. You've seen my tach right?

im with you guys, 5" tachs look like crap when mounted on the dash. however, i just installed one in my '86 and ran the wires down through a hole where the center speaker holes were broken out. gotta have something to cover that hole... :D

Here is the tach in my 87 burb. :D Nice and small. :)

Good looking truck! I like the flames. I know how hard it is to take pictures while driving. I always keep my camera handy and have taken a couple. No wrecks yet! :)

PHOENIX 04-14-2003 12:38 PM

I have been seeing alot of 73-87's in my neighborhood. I missed out on alot of great pictures, because I didnt have my camera. But there are a few that live in the neighborhood that I never seen before. They are garaged. One is real sweet. Next time I see it outside Im gonna stop and talk with him. I hope he speaks english :)

LOHRTBT 04-14-2003 02:19 PM

I have a 2.5-3" tach in my corner of my dash...doesent hinder view at all and doesnt look out of place like the monster tach's. ;)
