Re: "Rice Rocket'

Just got it installed, but forgot to hook up speedo cable (it wasnt going good so i skipped that part and forgot)

Since my engine swap speedo hasnt worked well, cable @ the trans was stripped...I had it crossthreaded (like po had it) and it worked up until the engine swap?

Idk i'll mess with it tomorow, im taking truck grocery shopping tomorow. Hope my heater grommit comes in

Oh for the 'cushy things' I used some ductape wadded up, no one will ever know

And I have crappy cell phone pictures i'll put up, now if the rest of the truck looked as good as the bezel, one day one day
