[Fast68C30]

well yea i know all about the tach clusters in these M model trucks trust me and that was the FIRSt thing i looked to see if was still in this one but it was long gone already of course!! and always are!! evne out here in cornfields no where central IL where no ones doing anything with trucks like this cept scrapping them all. im not a noob to trucks i been at this for over 25 years have drug in and owned and driven 100s of them over the decades but the past decade or so not very many because the damn scrappers been hauling EVERYTHING not welded down to the shredder. just not much with the HD trucks and doors are scrap rotted out junk how is the firewall different? looks identical bolt pattern and shape everything as any 10-30 series one. i just need to know whats different for the column dash mount stuff.

addition as of 10pm now after getting back off the freeway from the long trip to the parts grain truck and back here, for the wiring harnesses and big west coast mirrors and the cowl panel and wiper motor and other goodies i need want for this build, and i compared the 72 dash metal i saved from a 72 C20 last fall and well it looks identical to whats in the grain truck but the bracket U shaped one that holds the column up to the dash is not deep enough or something weird i cant figure out.. but its not ,much different at all!! i can make it work! without much trouble at all. as long as the long one piece shaft column from it is same length as a C/K column with the interm. shaft length included then ill be ok,
and i puled saved the whole complete rag joint assembly from the grain truck too. the bolt studs for the cut outs in the end of column shaft flange are longer bigger than C/K ones. the doors and floors completely rotted away gone missing horribly so nothint to save as far as metal goes. or i would! alot more i wanted to save like the black seat belts and the electric hi-lift flat bucket seat and PTO unit and driveshaft and the trucks middle section of driveline tooo!! and the monster meat front tow hooks on top side of the big bumper hmm.... but coulddnt. just too much and not enough time and all that... unfortunately... i pretty much gutted the cab though pulled it all cept heater stuff and the drum style parking brake handle assembly thats next to gas pedal. i pulled the 5 speed shift knob off though i like it haha.
