Re: Surf Blue
Rob,...
maybe these will help. They are from n2billet's red 1968 "Lucy" build. One of my favorite trucks ever. Sorry about hijacking your thread.

Re: Surf Blue
Those are much better pics of what I'm talking about. What you see in the pics "lolife" posted is exactly what I did. It may not seem like that would free up a whole lot of room in there but it does.
That's not threadjacking , that's just helpin a guy out. Don't sweat it. ![]()

Re: Surf Blue
After recently going to a few Goodguys shows I got a little motivated and decided to clean up my guage cluster area. So I ditched the column mount tach that I had ,flat blacked the cluster , painted needles orange, and cleared the see through plexiglass in front of the guages themselves.
Here's some before and after pics, the last pic is the before pic.

Re: Surf Blue
Looks good....but how did you get it so smooth before? Just sanding down or using body filler?

Re: Surf Blue
What do you think about these? You need all the gauges you can get to read that 502!

Re: Surf Blue
Those are pretty cool. I wonder if you can get any air ride P.S.I. guages in any of their configurations?

Re: Surf Blue
Nothing like a good show to get you a little motivated. I found that out a couple of weeks ago when i went to a goodguys show near me. Your truck is still one of the best i've seen anywhere. Thanks for the motivation you've given me.

Re: Surf Blue
What are the specs on the front suspension? Did you ever change to aftermarket upper and lower control arms?
Your truck has an amazing stance. |

Re: Surf Blue
Danny has been out of pocket lately working out of town & coming home according to his wifes schedule.
He's still running the OE style a-arms last I was around the truck. So dropped spindles & bags w/chromed stock style a-arms.

The more common issue is the wheel lip contacting the a-arm when using 3" dropped spindles. This is typically remedied w/a little creative grinding.
