Yes it has and Thanks!

**thelonerife** · 05-18-2014, 06:12 PM

Not big progress but a little. I painted the top of dash again. It's s little wet in this pic looks splotchy. I also cleaned and painted the door latches.

**thelonerife** · 05-18-2014, 06:14 PM

Latches

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 10:01 AM

Dash is in but not hooked up.

That is one nice looking gauge cluster Chuck. With S/W too. Fits the truck nice.

**Todd68Chevy** · 05-19-2014, 12:04 PM

Nice, Speed warning, choke delete, tach and do I see a gauge to the right of the column also?

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 02:57 PM

Thanks guys. Yes it has a vac gauge too. I'm gonna try to hook it all up tonight. Does anybody know what size hole I need for the tach grommet? I forget.

**TBONE1964** · 05-19-2014, 03:28 PM

Chuck,

It is a 3/4 inch hole just to the drivers side of the fuse block. Should be a dimple in the firewall as a guide.

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 04:38 PM

Thanks tom.

Rusbuilt · 05-19-2014, 04:53 PM

Lookin good boss!

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 10:24 PM

Thx. I got the old column out and the rear light harness almost ready.

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 10:26 PM

Rear harness. I also found my side marker harness for the front. 68s didn't have side light markers that lit up but mine will.

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 10:30 PM

I also need to paint my pedals and some of the inner firewall. After that I'll put the column in. The doors shut like new now. Two clicks.

I haven't forgot about you. Just have to wait till I put my column back in and I can get it outside.

Rusbuilt · 05-19-2014, 10:57 PM

Nice bro!

mcbassin · 05-19-2014, 11:06 PM

Your cluster looks incredible. You are moving super fast on this thing. Makes me jealous. I feel like I've been stuck inside my cab for weeks......oh yeah I have

Keep the pictures coming, they are inspiring.

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 11:28 PM

Here's the cluster lit up. Had to replaced fuse. I found why it shot. I'm gonna hook up my am radio light to the light circuit so it'll come on when the lights are on.

**thelonerife** · 05-19-2014, 11:33 PM

I got the dome light in. I don't have the under dash lights in yet. I'll wait till I get the paint done on the firewall then do these wiring projects.

JRANGER · 05-20-2014, 11:16 AM

Man those are some nice bright lights!! looking good

**thelonerife** · 05-20-2014, 11:27 AM

What brand door gaskets did you use on this truck?

resto newbie · 05-20-2014, 08:25 PM

A side note- I got to see more of Clarksville than I cared to today. I was part of the slow parade trying to avoid the accident on I-24. I took Alt 41 to 76. Was I close to your place?
