Re: 58 TRUK intro

back in post 399 of this thread i mention i had lost my speedo coming home from the hot rod power tour
that was way back in june, i ordered 3 speedos and they either came mangled or so far out of calibration i ended up returning them all
i finished the year off with my neighbors old android phone with the speedometer app loaded

i had stupidly sold my old speedo and bought a new one to have the mileage reset to zero for the rebuild
a member on another forum sent me an used stock speedo that worked but was way off calibration
another member on this forum tbone1964 had mentioned he did speedo and gauge rebuilds and calibration
he was in the middle of moving from michigan to oregon last summer,
i ended up sending my speedo off to him in october and received it back a couple weeks later during a very cold winter (coldest feb on record)

just started driving truk for the spring and installed the speedo last month
the speedo is dead on; cudos and a shout out to tbone1964
nice to have a working speedo again...

if anyone needs speedo or gauge work done on their classic tbone is the man
he has a website http://www.classicgaugeandcluster.com/ where you can see some of the work he's done
he was also 1/3 the cost of dealing with a local speedo shop here including the shipping cost both ways
not sure if that was a forum discount or just his standard rate for ogres
