Re: Frankentruck

Saturday morning, I jumped in the rust bucket and drove up to the Chattahoochee National Forest to see my buddy get married. On the way up, the broken speedo bothered me so much that I just unplugged the speedo cable at the cluster. Once I got back home, I swapped back to the original speedo and put the odometer roll from the new cluster in it. Drove it about 2 miles just to have the odometer roll stop spinning again. That's twice now, and unfortunately, the 64-66 odometer rolls are larger than the 60-63s. I really want a working odometer, but I don't want to spend over 100 bucks for a new speedometer when my speedo works just fine without a stuck odometer roll.

It was pretty fun givin' her the beans on some dirt roads
