Re: LIL ERV the 50
Well it's too late for me I already bought my gauges (and I like them) but what are these? I can't quite tell from the photo being small but it looks as if the left gauge has tach on top and temp/amp below and the one on right has speedo and fuel and oil below? What a great set, mine didn't have tachometer so had to buy a separate tach.

Re: LIL ERV the 50
Read through this entire build post, and I gotta say, I'm impressed. And, I like many of the choices you've made - wheels, engine, gauges, paint color. I built a model years ago and painted it that very same color. I said, someday I was going to have the same real truck as that model. Well, I got my truck now, but I went in a different direction with it for this first build. My plan is to do it again in another 10 years or so, full frame off just like what you have here. Right now mine is green and yellow/orange but someday it will be that beautiful blue color!

Re: LIL ERV the 50
Well it’s been a while since my last update, I did not use the Silverado seats in the end, they were too wide and I could not use the shifter on the floor. So i went back to the vette seats but I did cut the top of seats off now you cannot see the seat backs through the back window.

Re: LIL ERV the 50
Nice build with great attention to detail!
How about some videos of the truck running on the street? How's that radiator working for you?

Re: LIL ERV the 50
Thank you, I’m in the process of redoing the front end, the cut down a-arms do not work. So if someone is thinking of doing this mod DONT. I talked to Portor- Built and he made me a set of new upper and lower a arms $$$ . Now just have to find the time to finish this. But I can say the BBC sounds incredible. I will post when work lets up a bit.
