The least I can do is show you some of my progress. I bought the truck in November of 2012 and it looked like this.Name:  c10 truck profile.jpg

Re: South Carolina 71 Truck

My next project while still working on roof is to put a tachometer. Anyone have any suggestions? I have thought about putting one on the steering column. Also, how easy are they to install?
