My new pair. An 84 and 85. A lot of questions.

Trying to post pics but it's not happening. They both have 350/350 combos.

I need seatbelts for the 85. Has anyone tried seatbeltplanet? They have 3point retractable 140 inch with chrome lift latches for 69.95 each.

The speedo starts at 25 when truck is sitting still then goes up from there.

What dash lights is everyone using 168s? What is involved in using LEDs?

The brakes seem to lock up too early.

Re: My new pair. An 84 and 85. A lot of questions.

i've already posted pics of the blue 84. i got it a couple weeks ago, still trying to get it running good. the red 85 i traded my 69 for. i had asked if it was a running driveable truck. i need to be more specific with my questions, cause in bama you gotta have seat belts if it originally came with them to drive them on the street. the red truck has smaller tires on front which makes it look goofy. i know the wheels aren't the latest model, but i think with some new rubber on them i can make do for awhile.

im thinking im gonna leave blue 1 alone and use it as a daily driver and lower the red 1 and make in my project.
