yeah it is either one of the trans gears or the speedo cable, not sure which one it is yet. I'm waiting for it to warm up to mess with it, The ground is cold

"took" isn't necessarily the correct word
I paid you what you payed for it
I'm gonna post a WTB in the classified section

That's not the word I want to use. I like "took", or I guess I could use "steal" j/k

[joe231]

i'll sell it back to you

[JohnC]

For 1/2 price? You know because of the bad economy and all.

[joe231]

Yeah 1/2 of what it would have cost you to send it in and have it fixed

[JohnC]

[mcbassin]

Great build! Glad to see you are into rust repair too! I love what you did to the cluster, too bad the tach didn't work, have you found a new / used replacement. I saw that guy with a whole box of them. Did you ever work a deal to buy them. It would be cool to have on in the kids box truck. Keep plugin along on it!

[JohnC]

He got his tach working, now he's on the hunt for other tachs that need a new life.

If you are gonna go with an after market hood I would go. Good mark. And as far as cab corners and replacement sheetmetal go lmc all the way it's quality replacement parts I bought through them and I wouldn't buy from anyone else

yeah I just got the box of tachs, there are 2 in there that I know I can repair if they are not working. the other three are the older style and I will have to do some research and experimentation on them first. I really don't know if any of them are in working condition at the moment. I also got a lead on some in a junkyard that I'm going to check on.

Is your hood a goodmark?
In my opinion LMC is way over-priced
Classic Parts in Kansas City is much better. I got my cab corners from Mike's Bump and Grind Garage, he is a site vendor also. Nice guy who is very helpful. He actually repairs these trucks, so he can give some real world tech support

[87cdime]

My hood is a goodmark

[87cdime]

Yea I ordered billet pieces from classic parts prices weren't to bad

[joe231]

cool
all my dealings with them have been top notch!

[JohnC]

Cool man I didn't know you ended up getting those gauges.

[joe231]

yeah I got them, they are mostly the older ones. There are 2 in there that I know I can fix if they don't work. I also got a bunch of the older gauges. So hopefully i can make some of the money back

[JohnC]

Sweet!

Did you buy complete clusters or just the tachs? I would be interested in a tach but we are looking to find a 91 electronic speedo cluster....you don't have one of them too?

[joe231]

Sorry Mike, I have both tachs and the entire clusters, but no electronic speedo clusters.
I'm planning on putting a tach in my '89 cluster. BLE 'BURBAN put a tach in his electronic cluster...here is his thread
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=265731

I need to check out the tachs and make sure they work correctly before I will be ready to sell, I'll let you know

[JohnC]

ooh ooh let me know too! Who knows when I'll get to the interior of this thing though.

[joe231]

So....
Does that mean you are continuing on the project?

[JohnC]

I'm trying. Just taking it slow right now.

[joe231]

[JohnC]

That's what I'm hoping for!
