Installed the cowl corners
installed the overflow bottle on the rad support
Sent my oil pressure gauge back (LED light was more yellow than the other lights. Great service from Auto Meter!!!)

Ordering my elec speedo this week!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Here is the Vac and Tach Gauge Cluster I have been working on for it. Still waiting for the Gauge Surround to get back from Chrome Plating.

It is a combination of 3 different Gauge Clusters, a Tac/Transmitter and Vac purchased off evil-bay and an NOS Temp Gauge.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

When I had installed mine back in `93, I had bought mine from LMC, did this in the hot sun so they would soften up, after install, closed doors and left them for a couple of days to take shape to the door and jam, turned out nice, needs to be done again, all wore off the lower kick panel from use..

Yeah Lake I bought it from Brothers Trucks but it is made by Metro Supersoft Weatherstrip Minneapolis, Minnesota. At the moment I can't remember if it was Brothers for sure cause it was a couple of years ago and I suffer from CRS allot. And yes the doors close but are tighter than a nats ask me when they break in tight...Vernski

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Made a ground strap from the bed to the frame. I'm going to try to drive it this weekend. I have to work 12 hrs tomorrow,and I was too tired to do anything else, I'll just wait until this weekend. The battery needs to be charged also.
