A few progress pics of my 69

I told you Id post some pictures of my newly aquired 69, so heres some of the progress Ive made. I installed a set of 3" ground force springs in the front but need to flip the rear yet. New 350 motor bolted to the 400 turbo & almost ready to fire. I repainted the dash cluster & installed some cheapo aftermarket gages. Im sure Ill have a bunch of dumb questions as I go...

Oh ya, the truck is a factory 396 bucket/console truck but the big block is in my 84 shortbox. I may have to swap them back someday now that the 69 is mine again...corn

Thanks, Im not totally sold on the dash look yet. I started it when my son wanted it all matching, so I just finished it that way. I myself would almost rather have a nice stock cluster & the tach on the column. Well see what happens with it...corn

Great Progress. Are you mounting anything in the empty hole in the cluster?

Ya, I made a plate & have a nice toggle to fill the hole. Then all I have to do is figure out what to hook the switch up to...corn

Lookin good.
You don't want a tach strapped to the column...at night the reflection of the light would be RIGHT in the center of the drivers side glass....where you are trying to look through.

Bummer, thats where I wanted to put it. Heres where I installed gages first but he wanted them in the dash so I had to get different ones. I liked them there in the radio hole...corn
