Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Yep Budd its a 160mph speedo ! I like the knobs they go with the old school look I got goin on , the twist style would give a newer retro fit look , just not what I'm lookin for , heres my dash panel getting closer to done , got the top of the steering wheel cover welded on and the bottom all formed up,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Everything looks really nice. I can't wait to see how the gauge cluster turns out.

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
nice job on the knobs , you could glue rubber O-rings in the grooves if they end up beeing too slick to pull with greasy hands

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Read through the thread and the work you are doing is simply astounding. Very thoughtful well executed modifications all around. I am glad to see the rear bumper filler panel you made, I had thought of doing the same thing except using a roll pan and making clearances or pass through's for the bumper brackets.. It does really complete the rear of the truck and it was a factory component on my first ride a 89 s10 blazer. Awesome progress and great fab skills!

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Thanks guys , I just tried to make a plan and stick with it , just wanted a simple clean build ! so the digital flush mount gauges werent workin so I cut all the holes in for the autometers , also cut the hole for the heater, air ride switches and cut a notch in for the air gauge , put it all together to see how it looked , now I see I need to remove more of the dash support tomorrow ,

Re: 77 yellow gmc swb
Thanks , I just knew just what I needed and just tried it , it went way easier than I woulda thought ,
Got the dash panel just about done, after a couple trys I finally got the headlight switch hole in the right place the wiper slot fit the first time! just need to weld in the area where the air gauge will go and tune it up for paint,
