Hmm,
I can just see it now, Having that screw driver handle key in your front pocket. And say your out walking around you may get odd looks from many people.
Or
Lets say your out for the night at a club/bar and doing a little dancing with the lady's.
Some real slow up close type up tight together may get you some sweet smiles from a few women. Or they walk off the dance floor and never dance with you again.
I had a old army buddy who sat at the bar that also served food so their was always a Salt shaker at most of the seating areas.
So my buddy being the joker type that he was would sometimes place a salt shaker in his jeans front pocket.
When he saw a women pretty woman he wanted and wanted to dance with in many other ways he would wait for a slow song, then he'd go ask that pretty lady to dance and pull her up close to his body and made sure she felt that salt shaker.
If he got a second dance with her he knew he was in good with most likely she'd go home with him..
He told me that was his game changer for him..
And the screw driver is way longer then most salt shakers

I'd love to do the F600 gauge cluster upgrade. If anyone has a nice black/chrome bezel they are willing to sell please let me know. Planning on speed hut gauges, so don't need those, but would prefer one with all gauge holes already. Thanks!

I love the f600 gauge cluster had I known about them at the time I would have found one of them... I just drew it up and had a buddy at a machine shop whittle it out of wheat or aluminum or stainless cant remember, It was 4 years ago. then cut the back of my cluster out leaving small 1/8th inch lip for it to sit on. Mixed up some jb weld and ranit al the way around the seem. Once dried took some sand paper to it till it look good enough to me...
2 4" gauges in the middle and three 2 1/16" on ether side....
Also just got my gauges ordered... Speedhut is amazing... So many different options to choose out of and a wide range for everyone. Including us diesel guys. Witch all of them know trying to find a matching set that you like is tuff...
8 gauges,
day time
night time

Oh those are alert lights, for dummies!
The lower red middle is E-brake when on.
The left light is for low oil pressure comes on when psi drops to 17lbs.
The far right light is for water temp warning if water temp goes up to 210*
The temp gauge was moved next to the light.
Upper left red button is extra horn switch.
Far upper right is alarm blinking LED
I like those GPS speedometer they did not have them when, I did my dash
I'll be changing to all white gauges a wood grain back panel when get the extra time.
I seem to keep making new projects for myself to keep busy just for something to do.. As I retired have the need to keep my hands & mine busy
as I do enjoy tinkering with the old truck. And one day will go to my son.
So really not important how much $, I put into it. Just having fun!

Yeah that's the neat thing over the standard programmable electronic early like ones.
I had bought. But just have to find a good mile marker. I used my car to mark out a mile then run my truck through it set the speed-o.
But still way easier then having to change the tranny cable gear.
