wow! thanks for warm welcome! I found my truck acouple weeks ago and couldnt resist buying it! Im at ft.rucker alabama learning to be a blackhawk pilot and believe this is an excellent vehicle for a pilot . I absolutley love this truck already and ive only had it for acouple days. i will put some pics up asap! Thats my gauge cluster exactly though! Also, im having a hard time finding out anything having to do with the VIN or serial number as the numbers i put in dont seem to work for anything. anyway, pics soon thanks again i appreciate it!

Re: mexican 69

If I ever own another 67-72 (if?) I'd love to have an instrument cluster like that in it. Can't wait to see pics of your rig.
