Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Before I forget about this, could you tell us where you got the gauges built at? Thanks Ryan.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
the lens is a one off, new. all the faces were re-screened also. speedo is original, just re calibrated. tach is all new late model guts with stock needle and re-printed face. oil pressure gauge is an 80lb out of a c60. vacuum gauge has different guts to read boost. back of cluster looks stock. i skipped a mortgage payment for this one. lol

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Did you do all of this, or is there a place where anyone can send theirs to get built? Thanks Ryan.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Great build so far! I always thought that the factory gauge setup would look way better if the tach was where the gas gauge was and a small gas gauge either in the tach spot or in the spot right of the column. It just seems depressing to have a gigantic fuel gauge to let you know how few MPG's my truck is getting, and it is really plain looking to boot. I have an idea to fix this pet peeve on my truck build.

I am playing around with putting the entire third gen Camaro cluster into the truck dash panel now. It won't look stock but I am going to make some gauge face overlays to make them look closer to the truck style when it is done.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
I just replaced my floor with a Tri plus piece. Yours looks totally different. Who MFG. yours? Nice to see you fix things before you install them though. Way to go, nice work. Can't wait to see more progress. Keep the pic's coming.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
I don't have any just floor pictures here at work but I'm almost positive everything on the floor was stamped complete and spot welded. The rear cab support on yours is what I'm refering to. However it still didn't even fit close to perfect. Same o'le story with most of the repo parts. Still looks like your on your way to a sweet ride.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
