Scored this gem this morning

Got a call a few days ago from a friend who knows a woman that has some "old car books". I called her last night only to find out the books are not what I thought, but she tells me she has some other stuff I should look at, Her family used to be in the car bussiness. So I drive down to central NJ, about an hour and a half on the highway, thinking I'm wasting a perfectly good Sunday morning. She has basic flea market junk strewn all over the basement of her home, over in the corner I see a huge neon clock. She doesn't think it works so she wants me to just take it. I walk it out to her garage, plug it in and it works fine. I gave her 100 bucks for it. I feel like I hit a home run.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Scored this gem this morning

I like it. I've wanted the glow of a shop clock coming from the shop. Can you get blue bulbs for these?

Re: Scored this gem this morning

Just another example of how truck folks are "good people". You very well could have just taken it on home for free or close to it.....but ended up 'doing right' by the old lady.

Still curious about the size.

I'd guess about 24 inches across the face.

I don't think I could afford to change the color , it's a huge neon tube.
