Those should hold you over until your VDOs come in. You did order VDOs didn't you?

Good, I didn't want you copying me anyhow.

Seriously though, looks like you did a nice job. I'm not into the look of digitals but that's why they make all different kinds of guages.

You are really moving right along on the truck. You're going to shame me back out to the garage tomorrow. I got my stereo in the Bronco for the most part and now I'm trying to stuff some 6X9s and a subwoofer under the seat of the 53. Gonna be a trick.

Later

Digital dash is really neat but I think yer steering wheel is kinda small. May be hard to turn without power steering...lol


Seriously, It really looks great. My problem would be watching the gauges instead of the road ! Doesn't take much to keep us country boys attention.


Looking at joners flashying lights and numbers

Tilt hood is already done!

well, it's just loosely bolted on for now, but almost done.

You should see the shift light I have, it's TINY! It's about 2.5" long and 3/4" diameter with 7 LED's.

Also, I was proud of myself for the wiring. I hooked the battery up, turned the key, NOTHING!

I'm like, OMFG what did I do, so I check wires over, find out I dont even have the ignition key wired up. Hook her up and dash comes on no problems, even turned over!
