I'm out of town at the moment, but will go by the print shop when I get back and get another round printed up.

If anybody else is wanting a set of the stencil and face just let me know.

It should work with the aftermarket tach just fine, it doesn't appear that Dan has made the box much wider than mine, if at all. You may have to put the tach in first and then the back cover, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Dan, great job on the plates and cover boxes! I'd like to get a couple of each from you if you still have some available.

Here are some pics of the new version. Sorry I took so long I have been busy with the new kiddo and getting caught up at work...

Okay, first thing.. If you want I can cut out your tin like so on a punch press. Well this was the first prototype (sloppy). It will look cleaner than this. This is not included in the plate and box just something extra if you want to save yourself some time but I may need your tin as I think I only have one extra now.



This is the new plate with the changes mentioned previously.



Here is the plate set in place on a rear tin.


If you noticed that one screw hole does not line up that is because this tin was the first prototype and I moved that screw hole.

Here are a few pics of the new box. Wiring hole changed to a slotted hole so you dont have to unwire it to remove. Material added on top edge and corners to tighten up some gaps.

[67c10rustbuket]

I sent a few messages, if I missed you just let me know.


I have made a template to cut out the rear tin but have not programmed it yet. May have to work on that soon and make a sample to show and see if you guys would like it.

[eagleuh1]

Thanks ls1nova. You guys both made a great product.

I'm in for the decals and box. Would be even happier if the km template got made.

Several people have said they would be interested in a Kilometer speedometer, so I can look into it, but cannot make any promises. Can you post a pic of a Km S-10 speedo for me to look at? I'm not finding any pics online.

[exploderjim]

I will take a picture of it tonight or tomorrow and send it to you.

[Bigo Serge]

I'd like a set of the decals and box too. Pm sent.

Actually I just realized I returned it because I thought I was going to be on MPH only.

Maybe someone else can take a picture of one. In the mean time i will look for a KPH picture to send.

[67c10rustbuket]

I replied to several and waiting responses from others, looks like I need to whip up some more pretty soon.

Just a thinking I would give a little info for those looking into doing this, you are looking at about $100 in parts not counting your cluster.

You need:
S10 speedo, cost about $40 on ebay
decal and template from LS1nova $25 (? i think)
adapter plate and rear cover from me 67c10rustbuket $30

Other odds and ends to complete; paint, (air brush or spray can?),x-acto knife,wire/connectors of your choice, sheet metal screws, dremel, odd sized torx drivers, die grinders, patience, drill/bits, more patience.

To me I think it is worth it to keep a factory looking cluster for an original looking interior and yet far cheaper than a full set of custom gauges.

The speedo faces and templates are ready. Please reply in this thread http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...01#post6322101

67C10rustbuket, got the box and plate. Nice looking pieces. Someday i'll get to put them in. Just started building a new house, so it probably ain't going to be anytime real soon. Thanks again. Jim

Hi Dan, parts coming from eric, and would like to order a plate and cover $30.00? No rush at all, just let me know. Thanks Brian Fuller

[eagleuh1]

It's almost done.Just got to modify the needle and wire it up and paint all the faded needles.It does work with the reproduction tach. I had to clearance the cover box for a tach mount flange and screw. Dremel tool came in real handy. My paint came out good, but slightly darker. Didn't have anymore white, so I'll live with it.

Bought it from forum member VA72C10, Jonathon.Couple months ago. Brand new kit, but I'm getting to old to remember more than a couple months. Bought it back in July. Must have deleted my messages to make room, because it aint there anymore. Sorry. I have HP Tuner software on my laptop so I'll change the tach resolution setting as required.

I'd like to buy a cover box and plate if they are still avaiable. Nice work dan!! Now I just need to get off my butt and do mine.

Just found this thread when trying to decide what with the speedo after getting a 4L80. I'll gladly buy your kit and thanks for sharing your work with us ls1nova! I won't be ready to do this until next winter now but I'm sure others will find out about this later on too. So I'll try and remember to PM you next year or if the decal/stencil won't deteriorate in a years time I'm okay with going on your next order if that's sooner.

Getting closer, just have to find the wired light sockets, install the led high beam indicator and attach all the wires.

More. The counter weight from the C20 speedo needle, after pressing out the little brass center, fits well over the black plastic center of the S10 needle, and after grinding down the plastic to a small circle At the end, fits inside the C10,20 needle cup. This helped center it and hold it upright while epoxy hardened. Also folded over the little tabs.
