where on Ebay?

Adam12 · 10-03-2003, 02:15 AM

nevermind I found it

gr8scott51 · 10-03-2003, 09:21 AM

Boese says they'll have this at the Monroe swapmeet on Oct 11 & 12 and at Portland Oct 18&19.

2wdBlazer · 10-03-2003, 10:26 AM

How much is this one? I like the setup on it. No 3 3/8 hole to try and fill.

gr8scott51 · 10-03-2003, 11:29 AM

I think starting price on e-bay was $475. I haven't seen the retail price yet.

bouncytruck · 10-03-2003, 11:59 AM

gr8scott51, I was just checking those out yesterday on e-bay. I went to their web site and they have other parts for 67-72's too. Like tail lights, etc. http://www.boeseengineering.com/

LOL, I wonder why?

Welcome to the site, that's an excellent looking setup!

gr8scott51 · 10-03-2003, 02:57 PM

I told them about the message board, hope it's okay.

Corey, I guess someone else gave you the ebay link.

isnt there certain rules about vendor posts?

**68 Stepside** · 10-03-2003, 04:25 PM

Yes, but I don't believe he's pushing his product. He gave the link as requested, and that's all.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-03-2003, 09:52 PM

Nice product for sure it is something different than autometer...

red71cheyenne · 10-03-2003, 10:15 PM

gr8scott, do you sometimes run a yellow topper on your truck? If you do, I think I saw you yesterday over by Burger King in Silverdale. Sweet truck by the way!

gr8scott51 · 10-04-2003, 01:03 AM

I was putting a swaybar on the truck, so it wasn't me you saw. No topper either, but it is a sweet truck. I was on the Westbay poker run on Sunday, though.

gr8scott51 · 10-12-2003, 08:26 PM

I was the only one that bid on it!! It's beautiful. Very nice looking Dolphin gages. I like their convex glass faces.

I hooked up with Dean and the Boese Engineering gang at the Monroe swapmeet. They have a lot of very well crafted pieces for our trucks. I'm sure they'll be getting more of my money.

mocwon · 10-13-2003, 05:11 PM

I have not found an aluminum bezel on the market that I am totally happy with. So, I am in the process of having a stock bezel reverse engineered and programmed in Solid Works by a friend of mine with the changes I want. Once the program is done its off to a few local machine shops to have quoted. The neat thing about Solid Works is that most shops with CNC machining centers use the Solid Works file to program the cutting tool paths which is much faster and more accurate than manual milling machines. The program is easily tweaked if you want smaller or larger holes, if you want to change the position of the holes, if you want to add designs, etc. Of course, the result of this whole exercise might be, it's cheaper to pay $249 for one and just accept the designs that are commercially available, we'll see...

lukecp · 10-13-2003, 05:37 PM

FYI, Classic Trucks has an article in this month's magazine about modifying stock 67-72 guage bezels for Autometer guages.

gr8scott51 · 10-13-2003, 07:36 PM

I went to RB's Obsolete Parts (the completed one at the end of the article) and looked at theirs. I liked it a lot, but the price was more than I wanted to part with. I would have had to buy the gages and the new dash piece, then make the modofications. The $475 was about the price of the gages, etc. and I wasn't confident in making the mods. I like the looks of that style dash though.

good luck, scott
