Re: I'm one of you guys now
don't get too excited, my build is super slow it didn't really start as a build thread, but has kinda morphed into one.......I should see if one of the mods will move it for me huh? the tach cluster is a good find, I have to thank John, I think he wanted to cry when I came and got it j/k next one we find is his There are a few yards around that I need to go look in.

Re: I'm one of you guys now
one more
looks like it will be quite a difference, all the bulbs are 168's as you can see I painted the back of the cluster white too (just to clean it up) and painted the front of the outer cover also...I wasn't sure about it, but it worked out nice, kinda gives it a halo effect with the lights on. I still haven't switched out the needles, but I did find that the plug in my truck has a jumper from the fuel gauge wire to the other position so it will work with either gauge the big or the little so it is just a plug and play !!! I wasn't planning on doing any swapping tonight, but I pulled the old cluster out to compare the plugs, so I think I will go ahead and put the new cluster in. I still need to run the wires for the tach so it won't be working yet, but oh well...... Back to it...I just had to share

Re: I'm one of you guys now
Thanks!!
I think this thing has been out in the sun for years, the needles are all white and very brittle, I broke the voltmeter too. replaced it with my old one, but now it reads way high, maybe it is the guage, dunno. Also the old speedo broke, not the needle but the tiny little shaft coming out of the speedo broke off in the needle so John if you are reading this I need another speedo needle. Quote:
so here is a comparison with the new in the truck(it is my DD, have to drive to work tomorrow ) before after I'm impressed

Re: I'm one of you guys now
That looks awesome man! Turned out great! It will look even brighter when you go with the LED's.
I'll bring the whole extra gauge cluster by. So if you need any of the other stuff you'll have it. |

Re: I'm one of you guys now
Do they really need to be much brighter then what they're at now? I upgraded my bulbs....painted the back of my cluster white last week too. I got hammered at a party last weekend so my wife had to drive home....Thats when I noticed that she was also glowing from the bright ass gauges. :LOL:
