Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
Look at this poor truck.
Gauge overload... Solution to rusted inner fenders? Roll cage or, hum, art?

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
I'm pretty sure I would like to have about 1/3 of those guages. There are bound to be at least a few of them that are useful!

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
That's a lot of work to come up with a "WTF"!! Probly a considerable amount of $$$$ too.
There was probly Jimmy's built in late 69, but they were '70 model year. Later---DAC

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
Removing the skirts would be a quicker fix... This thing is hopelss.
Didn't even notice they listed it as a 69 Jimmy. Just another in the list of things they screwed up on this truck...

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
those gauges remind me of the clocks at the airport; "it's 1:30 in Berlin" "it's 9:30 in Sydney"
