Re: 67 long box
Haven't posted in a while headaches bin crappy again, but I'm not complaining. I scored some cheap lumber off Kijiji and made up some cribs so I can start winter work. Wife keeps asking is it done yet and I say almost just 5 more grand and about 5 or 600 hrs. Put a new skirt on the Shop vac hover craft.

Re: 67 long box
So rev "A" looked good but really hard to get the truck up that high at once, so rev "B" split cribbing with alignment pins for safety

Re: 67 long box
Toying with an after market tach installed in the dash to look kind of factory looking. I don't mind the look just need to get rid of the yellow part on it.

When your boss is an acuralogist and only accepts perfection. It's hard to keep up with his standards.

Re: 67 long box

Re: 67 long box
I drilled a 2 1/2" hole in the gauge cluster and I still need to modify the back of the cluster.

Re: 67 long box
Are you going to use a tach circuit board?

Re: 67 long box
I have a good used tach board I could send you. I picked up a NOS one on Kijiji last June. Let me know I can pop it in the mail.
