Nice truck!!
However, I may be wrong, but the gauge cluster should be on the left side and speedo on right side.

Ilya , you are correct !!! Put them in that way just to try & fool you ! No really not much is stock on the truck . or original . The doors , cab ,gas tank , inner fenders , grill , front bumper & frame are original .All other body panels have been replaced .This truck came from the rust belt . N. Wis.
Ilya, could I please get some extra credit pts. for the rear bumper? How about the 5 yr. search for a set of '52 Wis. truck plates and the 7 hrs. it took to restore one ?Give a FTE brother a break !!
