A Q's on your installation of A/C.. Do the kit on the truck the same for the burb ????
Can you post more info of the crimper. Thanks as always killer build.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation. As far as I know there is no difference between the Vintage Air kits, they just list C10. Check out this thread on the crimper:

Take care,

I received my HDX gauges yesterday. Can't wait to get them connected and installed,

!

Very nice!

Thanks Keith. I had some time to connect a few wires last night and here are few pictures of them lit up with some of the different color options!

smbrouss70 · 09-30-2016, 11:20 AM

Looks nice! Why isn't the clock lit up in the first 4 pictures?

I just didn't have it plugged in...

Twisted78SS · 09-30-2016, 01:45 PM

Nice Rob!

Very good looking setup.

**rubberbandit** · 10-01-2016, 01:54 AM

Love those gauges. Can't wait to get mine!

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with them! They were well worth the wait,

**Hart_Rod** · 10-05-2016, 08:31 AM

Still working on cleaning up the wiring for the cruise control, EFI and the gauges while trying to finish the plumbing in my shop. Here's a shot of the gauges in Red...

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-05-2016, 04:35 PM

Rob, are the bim modules similar for the hdx as to the vhx clusters?

Yes, they will work with both.

Bennett68C10 · 10-07-2016, 08:11 AM

I like the gauges lit up in Red!

Thanks Keith! There are some many color options to choose from, it's been hard for me to decide what I like better,

.

I'm about done wiring up the cruise control. What a pain in the butt to have to use 2 relays to make the Dakota Digital switch (HND-3) work with the DBW setup,

.

(write up by here ACKATTACK: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...se+control+db2)

On a more positive note, I talked to my contact at Dakota Digital about the problem using the switch, so look for a new switch in the future that you won't have to add relays to in order for it to work properly,

.

I also got most of the plumbing done on the shop. Getting closer to sheetrock time!!!!

gringoloco · 10-07-2016, 11:22 AM

Are you plumbing compressed air?

**Hart_Rod** · 10-07-2016, 11:57 AM

Shower, toilet and sink,

. But I will plumb my air also, when the sheetrock is finished,

Stuff all looks good Rob.

Sorry you didn't get over here for CTC (at least yet).

Thanks Bill. Looks like you guys had a great time as always at CTC. I really wanted to go, but I made some good progress on the suburban. Next year may finally be the year I can bring the burb over there....

.

***

Cruise control is wired and tested (Hopefully it works when I get the truck running,

). I finally finished the gauge wiring and installed the cluster in the dash. Got the tilt steering column installed for hopefully the last time.

I also made a bracket to hook up an E-Brake switch. I wired the switch to the gauge cluster warning light that will notify me when/if I leave the emergency brake on,

. Here's the thread on how to do the E-Brake switch setup: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=425922

Devil is always in the details.. Amazing how long that list is, and how much each little item can take.

You are getting there Rob, no doubt about it.. Good inspiration for the rest of us to push to the end!

Thanks guys, I appreciate then encouragement. It seems like this project is fighting me every step of the way

Oh well, it will get done when it gets done

Sounds like every project I ever attempted, plus it costs twice as much!
