Don't be discouraged! Try anyway. The worst they can tell you is no. I get frustrated too with the diesel mags. My brother's tried getting my car in there and the big mags had no interest. It's been in farm mags and then after that the diesel mags were interested so we'll see.

daytonagp4 · 07-11-2011, 09:28 AM

Just out of curiosity what do you guys think my truck is worth?

Great build on the truck.

I noticed the 5.3 emblems on the fenders. Do you have a closer pic of them? What are they from?

JTR sells all sorts of VSS units to fit mechanical speedo transmissions. It will be application specific for the LSx PCM but I don't know which one it is.

Honestly, what ever you can get some one to pay for it.

I'm sure you've got a boat load in it too, but the economy seems to be coming back on trucks, and the values seem to be going back up on the squares.

i was thinking about using fiberglass or sanable epoxy to fill in the cracks in mine sand it then touch up paint it sence i know a guy at a auto paint supply house that can mix me up the stock dash color up into aerosol can or just in atouch up so i can spot my touch ups

daytonagp4 · 09-13-2011, 12:46 PM

that could work pretty good, mine already cracked and didn't turn out good at all. I think i might try again this winter though.

true74enduro · 09-16-2011, 12:43 AM

you could try doing your dash like a sub box. roll resin over the dash maybe mask off speaker holes. then lay a felt type material on top shape it to the dash. then let that start to set up. then put more resin over that keep smooth. then when thats done you sand the dash slightly and apply thinned bondo over dash. sand the bondo then prime and paint. ive done this to my 65 mustang dash custom shaped it and added gauges in it.

daytonagp4 · 09-16-2011, 03:05 PM

that is the process that i did but it was my first time doing it so it didn't turn out the way i wanted it to....oh welll i will try again.
