BOO! scare ya? Hey, I'm gonna get a camera tonight and take some pics of my truck. I think I'll just burn a roll of film on my truck and other stuff. I have a friend that works at...well we'll keep that annonymous...that gets my film for free. How 'bout them apples?

Hey, also, do you want to buy a Tach-o-meter for like $30? It has a shift light and everything! My friend is going to hook me up with one, and he said if I know someone who "NEEDS" one, he'd give 'em the same deal. You popped into my mind. If not, it's all good. And he has one for himself...it's not some 'el cheepo' Tach, it's a pretty nice one. Just let me know if you're interested.

Joseph

"Other Stuff?" Could that mean girlfriend pictures???

The tack with the shiftlight should go to Strick88, us auto guys don't have much need for a shift light. I bet it would look cool on my dash though.

Hey strick. I just posted this comment on your gallery.

Nice stereo! Does your tailgate vibrate when you crank it up : ) Bom chi bom bom chi bom bom chi bom bom chi!!! Looks great though. Ever worry about theft?


ha ha ha.

Nice white faced guages. Where they difficult to install? did you have to take the whole dash apart?

urg, I've had my pictures up for a while and nobody's posted any comments to my gallery. Also, look at my avg votes. It's less than 6. I must take some awful pictures or something.

James,

Ken sells the grills at www.motorhaven.com

The guages I think are APC and can be found on numerous sites. Ken might also sell those too.

Strick88, $35 -- Here's how we can do it. We can either:

1. You send me a money order by mail. When I recieve it, I'll send you the tach-o-meter by mail. That would be the easiest way.

2. We actually meet somewhere to exchange by cash.

I don't care either way, but option 1 would be the easiest way.

Click on my user name and shoot me an e-mail, because I don't think it would be appropriate for us to exchange addresses on this site. If it sounds good to you, I'll try and work it out...it'll take a couple of days. I'll try and give you a picture of what it will look like before we do the deal. Sound good?

Yes, my friends is white-faced, so yours will be too. The cool thing about it is that you can set the shift light to whatever you want by the press of a button. He showed me. When he is just driving around, he sets it at 3000 RPM's for mileage. (Maybe even lower for the truck) It's a pretty good deal. I'll get you a picture and details of it before you ever pay a penny I promise.

Good Luck! Yea, usually with every tank it gets a little better until it's finally working at its optimum level of performance.
