Those newer style switches work on these older trucks?

flamingbig10 · 02-15-2010, 12:16 AM

you'll have to splice the wires together if I remember all the colors are the same and there's one wire left over from the newer switches

qu1cks1lver56 · 02-15-2010, 02:12 AM

Nice. I think those switches look better than the older style switches. You grab them out of a junkyard?

my neighbor bought a 91 for the motor and parted the truck out

flamingbig10 · 02-20-2010, 11:53 PM

After driving my truck 3 years I decided to finally fix the cab mount bolts only one would tighten, the other three the nuts inside would just spin, ordered new gauges with all electric, and maybe a ls motor

qu1cks1lver56 · 02-21-2010, 12:18 AM

Sounds good, would be cool to see another ls swap.

Driveway Dreams · 02-21-2010, 12:36 AM

Ok so I read something about you getting some

and some more

and A WHAT?! An LS? Woo baby! Now that would give you some motivation for the ol' girl.

menace121978 · 02-21-2010, 09:07 AM

Same here. I like how he threw it in there under the radar like.

flamingbig10 · 02-21-2010, 06:37 PM

I was going to buy a daily but I'll just spend it on a 5.3, and just maybe rear disc brakes, and a rear end over haul narrowed able to fit 15x14

qu1cks1lver56 · 02-21-2010, 07:40 PM

15x14?!
DAMN

flamingbig10 · 02-21-2010, 07:50 PM

menace121978 · 02-21-2010, 07:53 PM

right on man! once you start the swap your thread is gonna be on fire again!!!

Driveway Dreams · 02-21-2010, 09:41 PM

I have loved how those M.T. tires look since i first saw a set. And I've heard they are awesome for traction too! They would be killer under your truck. But you may need some power adders for the 5.3. You know...to justify the tires.

flamingbig10 · 02-24-2010, 12:43 AM

new gauges came today

JohnC · 02-24-2010, 02:55 PM

Sweet can't wait to see them in the truck!

shenk10 · 02-25-2010, 06:28 PM

What seats are in this truck? Are they just the normal bucket seats with a center console or something different?

Driveway Dreams · 02-25-2010, 06:33 PM

Good choice Aaron! Those will look really good in there. Could you take them apart and paint the needles and dots blue to match the truck?
