Re: MY NEW JIMMY 1972 4x4

So glad I stumbled on your build thread. I enjoyed all the progress pictures.
A few of those pictures look familiar, lol. You need to show the rest of that set!
Can’t wait to see more, keep those photos coming!

In the next few days I will be making a roof crane. The countdown has begun to finish the project and collect the parts.

I am also happy with your response. I hope to provide something suitable for everyone. I am still learning here and I am putting in a lot of effort to make this project look good. I will do that. Thank you

Sure. Everything is easy now. The only delay was in the expected rust areas but it's not that difficult. Thank you sir.

Talking Re: MY NEW JIMMY 1972 4x4

That clock should have been a factory feature or option. I never understood why they didn't capitalize on that empty spot on the light duty trucks, Suburbans and Blazers. I added the vacuum gauge from the 40-60 series to both my 1970 Blazer and 1972 Cheyenne Super because the empty spot on the cluster really bothered me.

Looking great!

That's right so I added the clock.

May I ask where you were able to find a clock with the same pattern as the OEM gauge cluster? I may see one in my future... LOL
