Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Good deal Ed! I think I had used the bottom left hole on the firewall for the bottom hole of the pedal.
Dennis - I might have to give you a rain check on that ride. My wife doesn't get off work tomorrow night until 9:30, and I can't leave the kiddos at home alone. They would probably try to follow us on their ATV's!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I'm not a tear my stuff up kinda guy, so not too likely. I did all that when I was younger. Besides, I already posted my video!
Not digital, just electric. The speedo just uses an electrical signal from the PCM, or from the VSS in the original application, which was a 91 Blazer.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Score!!!!! I just bought a like-new sport rear bumper with brackets and license plate bucket for $160 to my door from ebay.
My coworker, who picked up mega cherry 79 K10 short bed over the weekend that had no rear bumper, promptly paid me $160 for my step bumper! Win-win!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
wow, a free sport bumper, damn nice job Bob.
The truck sounds and pulls well, it's made my mind up, 5.3/5 speed it is.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I'd say so! Dang. Good job on that one! Fred is gonna be awesome very soon. So much for the "slow and easy" approach, oh wait.....that was gone a week after you got it out here!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
For the step or the sport? I'm going to wait to take mine off until the sport bumper gets here, but I can take pics then.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
The sport bumper please. I pulled off a custom beat up step bumper so I don't have anything but the outer sport bumper brackets to work with.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
OK, I just picked up a partial electric speedo cluster. It is just missing the temp and oil gauges. I am going to swap the speedo for the one I have in the truck now, then will probably sell this cluster.
The speedo I have in there now works, including the odometer, but the trip odometer does not work. So I'll probably sell this one with my speedo, a gas gauge, volt gauge, the lens and the black piece that goes behind the lens for about $35. If anyone is interested, let me know.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
It as your name on it then! It is electric, the speedo that will come with it is the one that is in Fred right now. The only thing wrong with it is the trip odometer doesnt work. But the regular odometer and the speedo works fine. All you will need to do is R&R your temp and oil gauges into this one.
Fred is FREAKING OUT right about now! He is sitting in the parking lot here at work..... and it's snowing!! I'm not sure he has ever seen snow before!

Nice tip! Mine oil gauge is just past 60 at highway speed, and the temp hasn't been much over 200. So the lower reading gauge would be nice too, would give me a better idea of where the temp is really at.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I guess I should make a new goals list! Although I still need a windshield.....
3 months is short term though, right? Quote:
