It has those, yes, along with the compressor and the 4x4 light. The hint is the one all the way to the left...

Have you installed the nvu gauges yet? I'm getting around to finally putting my set in. Just having trouble how they bolt to the bezel.

Hi, no I have not. I actually havenīt touched the truck since last year. Just havenīt had any time to work on it.

With so many other things going on, not sure when or if I get to it this year.

What exactly do you mean by bolting to the bezel? You have the frame with the gauges and that mounts instead of the white plastic part that the OEM installed. Then your dash bezel just bolts in the original sport like it did with the OEM gauges.

Or do you mean how the physical gauges bolt up to the mounting frame?

Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread
update after a long pause. ...

4-link is mocked up and 80% ready to go on the truck. I need to find the time to weld everything onto the frame and axles. The rear Deaver springs also fit, just need to cycle the rear to see where I have to mount the hydraulic bump stops.

The lower link mounts in the front need to have a new transmission cross member. I have to build this as I go.

Stay tuned... more pictures to come

Still not gotten around to do that. But it will go to the new cab, not on the current cab. Will have to check if they fit with the roll cage.

As soon as I can get back to the US (we canīt come to the states at the moment) then I will start with the new cab/cage and install the gauges.
