Something to share on Sunday
It's Sunday, 91 degrees, just finished cleaning her up for next week's antique truck show over in Fayetteville. She's almost completely transformed into a Deluxe truck. One of the last things I need is to finish is my restoration of the gauge cluster. I replaced the amp gauge with a volt gauge from an 80 Silverado, mounted the original face plate to it. Put in a vacuum gauge from a 65 Pontiac. Left its face alone as I am wanting something a little different. I remove the overspeed and tandem brake lens and have printed up GEN and OIL so that I'll have double protection. Won't be the first time this setup saved my neck! I removed the power brake pedal pad that I made and replaced it with the later style pad with a little twist of my own! Bet there aren't many of these out there! Slapped on a hood ornament from a 65 El Camino and a 6 cylinder badge from a Nova. Mark01 turned me on to a set of stainless steel rails for the bed! To quote my wife " It looks sporty!" Hope ya'll enjoy. Mike.

Re: Something to share on Sunday
Preaching to the choir, bought parts to build, fix, repair and reinvent the wheel , got more than a piece of every car truck I have owned in the last 40 years.... Dealer name tag is priceless, how did you cut that out? ..Ed

Re: Something to share on Sunday
Your truck is incredibly beautiful, and even better with the additions. Nice job and creativity. Have fun at the show. I think the last time I saw one of those clear floor mats was in my dad's 62 Buick Special, back in 1964! Very cool indeed.
