Looks great- I'm sure you have heard this a million times, but what color is that truck? Also what did you build that armrest out of? It is cool! My husband is a self employed welder, and is doing some custom stuff for our blazer. I will have to show him your pics! Nice gauge bezel! Cool idea for the vintage air!

Well....

the color is Tropical Peach although it looks pink. The armrests are made from aluminum. If there is anything you would like, drop me a line. I will build and sell any of it. Later, FCG

No....

it is not running yet. I decided to finish everything else first. The last thing I want to do is to get it running. If it ran right now, it would never get done. Later.

Here we go....

It will have 5" tach and electronic speedo, 6- 2 5/8" gauges-oil pressure, water temp, volts, vacuum, fuel level, fuel pressure(?). It will also have 5- 2 1/16" gauges- all air pressure. 4- one for each corner of the truck and 1- for the tank pressure. It also has LED turn indicators, bright light inficator and air compressor indicator. Whew! More than a mouthful!

gauge cluster

Fuelcell- sorry, i packed for school and now i am back at school. i would use autometer gauges. but i like the looks of that bezel. i would prob use a 5 in. tach and speedo and then some smaller gauges like stock for the bottom...... i was just wondering if you made and sold the gauge cluster and how much you charged

Wow!!

Talk about strange BUXMAN, "Learning to Fly" by the Foo Fighter's just came on as I read you comment. Woah!.


Rat, do you want me to price it with the gauges?? If so, I will get them from Summit. I don't markup other companies stuff. I make mine off the panel. If you want it complete, let me know and I'll shoot you a price. It WILL come with necessary LED indicator lights. Lemmeknow. Later, FCG

gauge panel

I would like the price of just the panel, i am not 100% set on the gauges i want yet, just the sizes of them. i want a 5" hole for the speed and tach. (in the stock place a speedo and fuel gauge would have been) and a 2 5/8 hole inbetween that and 4 2 5/8 holes across the bottom ( were stock gauges would be). a Price for something like that would be great, just the panel.

thanks Rat

Yes ! You have to post the pic's of the bed cover with spec's
That is great idea!

What happen to this guy\/?

Seems a little crazy on the traders board! I here there is F@#d guys there?

I see none of your "I was only kidding" smileys in this post so I can't help but assume this is just another release of self-aggrandizing bile from you, but this time you have regurgitated your swill in my backyard.

Your narcissistic, derisive offal leads to two camps-- 1) those who think you're a condescending prick (there are more than you might think), and 2) those who line up to play "attaboy" in your Mutual Admiration Society. I've watched your deign toward others; anyone who fails to see you as "god of the truck" by throwing jabs and patters at their 'misguided vision' and their 'lack of judgement' over doing something that they wanted to do, and then 'making it all better' by slapping an ex post facto smiley on the end of your rebuke and claiming "just kidding."

You have posted no less than a half-dozen times this week about how cold it is in New Hampshire... as if anyone gave a fat rat's ass, but then adding to your self-perceived superiority by glibly talking down others whose area temperature is more moderate. WTF?

What I find most amazing about your unceasing need to belittle others who have the desire, creativity, and energy to define a unique sense of style to their personal vehicles, is that, as best I can tell from your shrouded posts on the topic, you drive a ratty old ****box rustbucket whose sole purpose is to sit under a tree catching sap and leaves until you need to clear your driveway.

I pity you and your painfully low self-esteem that you feel the need to build yourself on the backs of others.

And, just received via email from one of the aforementioned members of 'camp 1' --

Pompous Jackass

You've already threadjacked FCG's post (as have I), so why claim the straight-and-narrow now? Besides, you shouldn't hide your insidious comments so quickly-- before others have a chance to read more of your perniciousness...
