Re: My New Truck
Here's what I started with on the grill. Fifthly dirty, wasps nests all over on it.

Re: My New Truck
Came across some old pictures when we got the truck in 1975. The owner had just moved in from Petaluma, California (This owner who sold this truck was going to start using it to commute into Denver some 30-40 miles each way). He indicated it didn't get very good fuel mileage thus that didn't make much sense to use it as a commuter. So my Father and he worked out a Deal. Been in the family ever since.

Re: My New Truck
Then some pictures when it was used for CAMPER BOAT service, under our ownership. I hated the camper on it (drove terrible-swaying and leaning-plus NO VISIBILITY)

Re: My New Truck
Having those pictures of your truck's history with your family is exceedingly cool. We have a few bits and pieces of our Suburbans in photos over the years but the rigs are long gone.

Of course these trucks were notorious rust, fortunately, when the weather got bad this truck sat and stayed parked. Thus it didn't get the cancer so many got! |

Re: My New Truck
Ok, the 8000 RPM tach install is officially under way. Many thanks to fellow member cdub2010 for lending me a hand in helping get these faces made up.
cdub2010 was super helpful, in getting started by stating lets give it a try and print them up and see if we can make this work. So we are in the thick of it. Now to tweak the tach face a little.

Re: My New Truck
Here is the Summit Racing tach I purchased to install behind the fuel gauge as the new tach face. Then with the Bosch tach face removed. Mock up of Bosch tach on the Fuel gauge.

That green 72 is my old truck. I’m pulling up to my spot in the second picture.
