Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
This is from my first truck. The gauges were faded so I polished the markings off of the clear plastic and had someone more artistic than myself replace them. They are all on the back-side so it had to be done inversely.
The trucks name was "Thirsty" The gas gauge was my favorite part. |

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
well lots of fella's did this mod but I'll chuck it up on this thread.
I'm still not finished with these(been jumping around too much on other things) but I've come up with a plan too fab some pieces to connect the front of the tubes too the top and bottom of the front of the c-member the pieces will serve as a mounting point for a hanger down the road

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Here is my skull tach. It started life as a fish aquarium decoration I found at walmart. I still want to diffuse the eyes and nose and install some green LEDs for night driving

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
This is my custom instrument panel I made from an old aluminum sign I had laying around. I had some autometer 2 5/8" gauges left over from a 240z project I had to sell a while back, so I found them a home. I also cut out a matching aluminum bezel for the stereo.
Im still trying to decide what speedometer i want, so that's why there is so much blank space. Im also going to install a few more switches and indicaters.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
And here we have my Jager dome light. Cutting the bottle was no problem on my wet saw. Drilling the holes took some patiens, but I made it happen on the first try without breaking it.
A quick run to radioshack got me the switch and prototype board. I already had a bag of high power green LEDs in my shop. I think it came out pretty damn good.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Here is the sub box I made for the 10" sub that came with the truck. 10 points to whoever guesses where it is mounted!

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Close! It tucks up under the dash, and the curve matches the vent for air flow

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
You wouldn't happen to have a part number you could share on the hitch?
Looks great! Now I'm wondering if it would hide under a roll pan?
