Is this guy a little too proud of this gauge cluster or is it just me?

I dont think thats all that bad.

I wouldnt pay it. But he isnt really out of line.

Is that even out of a pickup, with the air pressure gauge?

Longhorn Man · 06-09-2009, 11:54 PM

it has a pick up bezal, but no, it is out of a C/40 or bigger air brake truck.
No C/10 - C/30 (nor K series) ever had anything in that hole.

thats what i thought bigger trucks had air guage. I thought some smaller trucks had vacuum gauges though?

Maybe you could plumb the air pressure gauge your tires so you could know if ya have a leak

Why would you need a vacuum gauge anyway?

Longhorn Man · 06-10-2009, 06:00 AM

nope, vacuum gauge was only on C/40 and up.
the vacuum gauge can be used to train yourself to drve for best MPG, and it is a good troubleshooting tool for engine problems.
ppl add them to there 10 - 30 series becouse they can't stand an empty hole.

The vacuuuuuuum gauge is very useful. I just haven't been able to talk myself into spending the money for the factory conversion ala LMC Truck. You could do an aftermarket for probably $30, but it would look like something installed by someone married to their first cousin.

Maybe they should slide a pic of thier kids in there!

No kidding, better mpgs I know this is getting off the point of this thread but how would vacuum tell you that?

BossHogg69 · 06-10-2009, 12:26 PM

the more you open the throttle, the more the engine vacuum goes down.
