Guage cluster remodel....

Wiring process has been expedited by hiring a pro!!
I finished the new guage cluster(s) yesterday.... the fuel and voltage will be in the radio slot. Radio is going in the glovebox. Ill post new pics later this week once they are installed.

I like it, but 1/3 of your gauges are upside down. Hurry up and get us some installed pics!

Man not a detail one gets by you. By far the sharpest knife in the drawer. Lol JK If you turn your laptop upside down, the pic is perfect. Here let me make it easier for you. MAGIC.

Another Chef gonna look good, good and different. What are you going to do about the brake warning light? I see high beam and t/s. Also are you going to make your glove box liner out of sheet metal to durability?

Rich, you always make me cry. I need me one of those emotional support dogs, and a "safe space".

I will fire up some Ranger TV (and burn your safe space down) and then we can have a cold one and talk about it ok? PS I sold your dog, you cat lover you. Lol Jk Your dog it at my house on Ford truck shop guard duty. I renamed him Slick Willie, because he would not answer to "princess". At least that is what his pink camo collar tag said. Funny name you gave your emotional dog.

Should be ready later this weekend. I have to finish wiring the blower motor and wiper motor before I can button up the dash.

That looks groovy! You getting any low speed needle bounce on your speedometer?

My factory speedo bounces a bit until it gets up to about 20 mph. I'm imagine it's because of a worn drive gear in the transfer case. One of these days, I'm gonna replace my T18 with a T19. When I do, I'll tear into the transfer case and replace the drive gear. But I think I'll actually miss the needle bounce.
