it is the stock guages and i just took it apart and repainted the black...and i bought that $20 white guage overlay kit from either here or ebay....i think it looks pretty good.The only way i was able to do this on such a small amount of money was to buy as much used stuff as i could find....that was worth a s**t

the ac is all there but the compressor is locked up,so ill need that to get it going first.I did every single thing to this truck myself except one thing....that was install 2 new mufflers and the muffler shop did that.I put all new brakes,added power brakes,new shocks...i painted it and did all of the body work too.I wanted to be able to tell anyone that asked, "i did that"

Bryan....i painted it myself.I have painted once or twice before.This time i went with everything that i was told not to.I used a gravity feed hvlp gun from homedepot ($75) i had a pretty small compressor and i used Omni SS paint....and i think it turned out ok.I had a run or two but it wasnt too bad....thanks for all the compliments guys.I have worked pretty hard on this thing

Nice job!! Looks great.
$3100. is unbeleivable, plus of course about $10,000 worth of elbow grease.
