Thanks for the compliments!!! I dunno, that show is kinda starting to draw the wrong kind of crowd, but I will be thinking about going. Dang Vegas.........

Your supposed to be making money for that wood bed...just thought I'd bring it up.

To celebrate breaking the 200,000 views on my thread I bought a couple of treats for my old truck. Postin pics tonight.
200,000 AND COUNTING!!!

It should be at zero....disassemble it and clean it out and lube the mechanism to see how it does at that point...then hook it up. Still worth around 200 sold in parts if it's not working....got great coloring on the face....with new bezel, polished lens, and cleaned up that's a 350-400 tach if it's working (and a new needle for the speedo)

Thanks VA, I knew you would jump in. Sounds like a little tinkering and maybe I will have purchased a really good deal at $80 bucks! May PM you for a little help on it when I pull it apart.

For anyone who has not been to Pate, here is a good pic of the event. Covers acres and acres, where comfy shoes and plan at least 2 days!!! This is a pic from about 1/2 mile away and couldn't get it all in the pic.

Wow 200,000. I'm pretty sure I'll never those numbers. That tach will look good in there.

Yep, 200,000.......boredom has reared it's ugly head!!!! I really hope this thing works properly, if not I will have a great platform for a nice aftermarket conversion.

I looked and no luck. Thought I would have better luck on the OE bushings but to no avail the best I could do was aftermarket. E for Effort???

Thanks for the huge compliment but I'm still learning.....a lot!

Wish I knew 1/4 of what a lot of the guys on here know or had 1/10 of their skills

And yes...80 is a SCORE! Even if it doesn't work you could part out the pieces for more than that.

That is why we all love ya VA!!!! Modest and smart!!! Thanks for all the great advice over the years bro, you really are one of the greats on the forum!!!

[Slick67]

Here are the other small parts I got while at the Pate Swap Meet. Got some billet wiper stem bullets and a chrome oil tube with pcv oil filler cap. Can't resist the chrome........kinda like a fish to a lure, cause it's shiney!!!!!

I may switch it one day, I do not even have a tv cable on it. I suppose the old school linkage is alright for now, eventually it will get upgraded. But I must say, that is a trendy lookin pedal ya got there!!! Me Likey!
