A little cluster work.

Changed out all the #194 bulbs to the #168's, painted the bezel, painted the faded needles, painted the back of the cluster white for better light.......


Before,





After, I can actually see my gauges now. In the night and day.

I need to work on the battery tray. Right now the battery is bumping into the headlight plug causing the headlight to flicker.

Re: A little cluster work.

How come there's an extra pedal in the first pic and not in the second?

Truck used to have a manual trans and the previous owner left the pedal in. And I took it out.
