Dash compass questions
Two questions.
Has anyone compared a reproduction ($50) to the new originals ($175) still out there? They look darn close in pictures. I think I'd still prefer the old one, but hate to pay NOS money if the repro is perfect, so jus curious. Second question - where do people mount this in our trucks? I don't want the truck to "be about" the compass, I don't want it taking over the interior, but don't know where to best put it to be noticed but not in your face. Thanks!

Re: Dash compass questions
I've never seen one! Until now: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=425373 Always assumed an add-on, not something you could order?

 I don't know that you could order a compass with your new truck. But I'm sure you could pick one up at the parts window at the dealership.

Re: Dash compass questions
Here is where I installed a compass on my 71 Longhorn. I used the existing rear view mirror cover plate mounting hole. This way if I decide I want to remove it, no harm no foul.

Re: Dash compass questions
I think I like that - any chance you can take a pic that shows the mounting so I can emulate it? By the way you're about to be T-boned by a C10.
