Updating this old thread just to complete the story on the instrument cluster refurb I did last year. I've been doing NOTHING on the truck for months and finally got back to it this weekend.
Here's a couple follow up shots from today to show I did get the cluster installed:
Others of the glove box - cheap cardboard liner but at least its new and fits. And of course the door with new bump stops.
After about 5 months sitting, the truck started right up and idled smoothly...well, NOT smoothly...it's got a rumpety-rump cam, despite the FRIGGIN RATS nest I found on the intake manifold!
