there is no denying that's a beautiful truck. sorry im just a purist with some things no offense. your truck is a 65 and the cluster is out of a 66. just curious why you chose to do it that way

At the time I had numerous clusters and picked the nicest bezel, it was silver so I ended up going with it because I think it looks better.

I have a question concerning the deluxe wheel center. My holes on the back are stripped and when I turn the wheel, it "clicks". One screw is larger than the other so I would like to carefully re-tap the holes but not sure how to go about it or what size of tap to use. Can someone give me some advice please?

I had to send my repop heater core out and get the tank swapped. The lines coming out were at wrong angle and to short. On the positive side it now has a GM part# on the core.

What documentation did you use to determine what heater hose clamps are used? It seems that most, if not all, of the pics of "original" trucks I've seen have the spring clamps on the heater core but I've also seen spring and tower styles on the engine end of the hoses. Never have found a definitive answer yet.

My 62 had all spring clamps.

You could look at Lambrect reference thread maybe?
