ps I am redoing my instrument cluster right now and am going to try chrome paint first to see how it turns out, thought I would run pinstripe tape the color of the outside of the truck on the small chrome bezel all the way around the dash panel and I just scored a sun 5000rpm tach.....still looking for a clock---gave up on a bat-ometer they do not exist.

Hi Kieth,

I got the LED's from ebay. This is the seller that I got mine from eBay

They have different colors and will combine shipping

I used some scrape Lexan to make the fillers to insert in place of the original indicator lenses. I used and 1 1/8" hole saw to cut them out and then the LED fit right into the pilot hole for the hole saw

I have been working a lot of hours, so not had much time to work on the truck. hopefully tomorrow I'll get time to work on the dash

I'll post pics soon

I found some time today to work on the gauges. I was not happy with the gauge decal kit I got from Classic Parts, so I made my own

I wanted to do something different, but keep the original look to some extent. Instead of the factory white letters on black, I decided to black letters on tan to match my interior. I think it looks awesome with the black bezel. What do you think?

























I painted the backplates for the fuel and temp gauges and they need to cure. I should have it done on Tuesday since I will be home watching the roofer's install a new roof on the house.

More pics to come
