Rebuilt Dash

Here are a couple of pics of my dash before and after with new tach and vacuum gauges.

Re: Rebuilt Dash

Looks good. I like the gauges. I have the same Flaming River column and steering wheel.

Yep sure is Jims1972 looks like it might have had a rough ride during shipping to your house. Get a few miles on the speedo on the #'s will straighten right up, there is about 30 gears on the #'s wheel and sometimes take a little catching up after reseting them.
I really like the dash in your truck and it looks great!!! The silver really compliments your interior. Now if I could just get my truck to look as good as yours.

Re: Rebuilt Dash

I like your new dash, looks great!

How do you remove the light switch knob in the upper left hand corner? I'm trying to replace the printed circuit board and I can't get the knob off. The wiper knob had a set screw but it appears the light knob doesn't. Looking at the manual, it looks like it should just pull out.

I think I found the answer - I should've searched for another 10 minutes

Re: Rebuilt Dash

there is a button on the back of the switch, under the dash push it and the knob and shaft will come out

Perfect, that's exactly what I did and it worked.

Re: Rebuilt Dash

The truck will be painted Pearl Silver (when I have the money) inside and out, and will do a two tone interior, but I am happy with the dash!
