Well, it is obviously clear the entire build is ruined now, but tell ya what...go ahead and get a new correct year cluster and send me the incorrect one and maybe together we can save this build!!

Seriously, for some reason I did the same thing with my cluster...and I don't really know why. Maybe because I was just used to it due to my '72 GMC...

custompaint870 · 08-28-2012, 02:30 PM

Hey mike, where is your Temp Switch located at on your motor? I have one on the block and one on the top of my water pump....the one on the water pump is throwing me off dont recall the tbi's having one there

**67cheby** · 08-28-2012, 02:52 PM

**67cheby** · 08-28-2012, 03:05 PM

I actually offered the 67-68 style but since he isn't running a choke or choke delete he went with this one

it might be nice to put some of the leather that goes on the seats ontoo the black part of the dash and the glovebox

jlsanborn · 08-28-2012, 10:36 PM

Looks sweet dude. It's awesome to see the details coming together and you making it whole again. It's also cool that you've got the attention of other manufacturers and they're sending you free stuff, but don't let them entice you into changing your vision so that you'll throw a little bling on there for the show. Stick with your original plan and promote the Tubz as #1. Don't shadow your innovation behind blinky lights and chrome doo-dads that you got for free. Don't get me wrong, it's all nice stuff. Just don't throw the naked-lady mud flaps on there because they're a "sponsor". It's Mike's ride.

You should just throw them on there anyways. They just scream classy!

**lolife99** · 08-29-2012, 12:50 AM

Sorry for the comment on the dash bezel.
The 67-68 trucks are unique trucks.
But the '67 is in my opinion the most unique.
It's the first year of this great body style.
Mikes truck is also the super cool big back window version that some people don't even think exists.
I like all the little details that set aside a truck and make it a true '67.
One year only details like the radio knobs and dash knobs.
I just hate to see the vision of this truck get lost in all the free stuff.
I'll keep my comments to myself.
Again sorry.

Whoa, Whoa here... back up the bus. lol

I hope you did not take my post as an attack on your opinion.

I was giving MIKE a hard time about the bezel not anyone else. I thought it was funny that we both had big window '67's and both had later model clusters...that and I couldn't pass up the chance to give him a hard time.

Sorry, if I came off wrong.

**67cheby** · 08-28-2012, 10:54 PM

Dang.....I was just going to post the mud flap pics ! Lol just kidding thanks man !

hgs_notes · 08-28-2012, 11:12 PM

I think every man should have one somewhere. Mines on my workbench instead of a mud flap. You can get them at truck stops.

**67cheby** · 08-28-2012, 11:16 PM

Lol, now I gotta get me one !

**67cheby** · 08-29-2012, 05:42 AM

No way , I have no issue with the comments ! It was complete over sight on my part if you would have brought that to my attention before hand the right bezel would be in there, I just didnt even think about them being different in that way ! I don't know what to do with my dash knobs either ? Is there a way to restore them ?
