On the bright side with the help of RUSBUILT i scored 2 amazingly solid fenders off a 1980 C20....Ill have to weld some screw holes used to hold the trim on and a couple small scratches and dings but they are awesome! No Rust at all!!!!

Also decided to go back to black gauges because it looks better but i painted the needles silver..On top of that a new cluster housing because the old one had one bad light connection plate that caused issue. So i painted the new housing white
Enjoyed helping out today Jeff!!! lol fenders on the bed my wife would die!! haha

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

So I have went through a bunch of extra clusters sitting around and I had an idea....Why do I have to have green blinkers?!!!!! So I had to change it, I went and took the extra "High Beam" Plastic and cut them into blinker plastics so now my blinkers are blue
