Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
this seemed like a simple fix, go out and buy ONE single driver side vent window in clear, to match the other three... surely not even this knucklehead could mess this up

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so now we were able to configure the Tachometer to display the tens digit so show something like 5430 instead of just 5400 type of thing, that's what this 8880 means
as well as go up to 9990 RPM instead of just 6000 a short little video: C10 EV Conversion First Mile on the New Speedo & Tach . |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Am I the only one who thinks this looks a bit like a Mars Station? short video: DIY Chevy C10 Truck EV Conversion getting a JuiceBox _ |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Very cool! I have not checked in for a while but it looks like you sure have made great progress on it! I'll have to go back and see where I left off. I'm interested to see how much range you have. We surely don't have the chargers as close as you do out there I'm sure. We have more and more being built in the big cities but none rural.
I'm very impressed with it. The difference from the quiet from your truck and the loudness of mine are huge. ![]()

Well that SUCKS you shout! well I did a number of road tests and got closer to 39.9 miles before completely running out of juice, but wait, there's more, I own two of these packs already and all I need to do is get off my butt and add the second one and we will essentially double our range to over 65 miles, not too bad Fun Fact: Per insurance company stats, the average American drives less than 40 miles per day! please think about that for a minute FYI, each pack weighs apprximately 180 pounds and cost me on average $1K each (paid $900 for the first one, and $1,100 for the second one) here is a link to an absolutely fascinating video of me manhandling one of these beauties: BMW 530e Plug In Hybrid HV Battery Pack Bonus Points: if you can identify the name of the song?

![]() The bed spray job will please the eye. Haha Nice work on the floor mats. If you want to add carpet later, I picked up a 3x4 piece of black carpet from walmart and used it to make the carpet for my 40 Ford. It might take some heat forming in the truck but definitely a cheaper alterative.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
yup, yes this was totally easier to paint on the truck than off of it completely free of any obstructions without any need for tape or masking, aha

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so since we is getting a brand new bed sides next year, [note to self: rob a bank] we called up the boys from ZeroPrep Auto Body to help us shoot the inner bed sides
and I think if you don't look at it, it turned out great! $6.99 well spent |
