Thanks, I don't think I have ever seen anyone running a custom air gauge. For the cost I couldn't pass it up.

83_shortwide · 03-17-2012, 10:07 PM

The whole truck is sweet! I work in your area alot and I'm always telling my guys about your truck and the "little" things you have done to it.

dv8customs · 03-17-2012, 10:30 PM

One day one of them may be able to tell you they saw it cruising through town.

dv8customs · 03-18-2012, 12:53 AM

I've had some people ask about the bead roller so I made a short video

New Vintage USA, same place that made the 5" dual gauges. Their site said they did custom design work so I asked if they could make matching air gauges, they said no problem and I had them in two weeks.

one day we'll see it in Street Trucks mag......no doubt, no doubt at all...

dv8customs · 03-19-2012, 10:02 PM

I like the way you think

Thet · 03-20-2012, 12:52 AM

Ya know, honestly, I think that dropping a truck goes against what they were designed to do and usually hate them. But you sir, hats off! That is a true custom job. I applaud you for how much you're able to do with so little. And the fact that you have the skill/know-how to fab up alot of it is mind blowing.

Love the truck!

Now, do something just as amazing with a massive lift.

"BUSTED knuckles" section in Truckin'....right now

then the cover of Street Trucks when it's done.

if you sent some pics, i wouldnt be surprised if they did a photoshoot.

dv8customs · 03-20-2012, 12:40 PM

Maybe I should try Truckin again, I talked with street trucks several times and they said they would run it shortly in their blood sweat and gears sections but that was over 6 months ago.

Thanks man, I glad you like my build.

dv8customs · 03-24-2012, 06:38 PM

Wasn't sure if my air gauges would fit between the other two gauges but today I bit the bullet and started cutting.

Looks like I missed center just a bit but I won't be able to tell from my viewpoint. The speedo is over a bit too far here as well but there is enough room to bump it over some.

Here's the old steering column through the firewall trick

Can't wait to drive this thing

VA72C10 · 03-24-2012, 08:29 PM

Looks awesome!!!

**kev2809** · 03-24-2012, 08:40 PM

man that looks good...def worth the time you put into this dash

JRANGER · 03-24-2012, 09:21 PM

Very nice

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-25-2012, 10:48 AM

Dash turned out great..

truckzilla · 03-26-2012, 09:57 AM

Such an awesome build! I know if we don't see it in one of the truck mags, I'm gonna be pissed! It almost seems like you have to have connections either through a club or one of their 'chosen' shops to get any attention.

I know I'd make a road trip east to get to see it!

It's like time travel, everything has to be just right to make it happen
