kansashogan Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 After ten years I'm sure there has been a lot of progress. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husky410ohio Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 The alternator belt has excessive wear so I got a new lower bracket mount from summit number SME-2000. The upper mount I sand blasted and had zinc plated for $10 by Nicks plating and they had it done next day. I also have a Wangler Power Products 140 amp alternator I will rebuild later.

JoeLAW Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nice man your engine bay looks clean! :thumbsup: And I had a couple of questions on how you did the auto meter gauges, since I'm planning to do the same thing on my truck, do you have a write up, or more pics about it?

husky410ohio Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 To install the Auto meter gauges remove the instrument cluster and disconnect the speedometer cable and the two electrical connectors. I cut off the plastic corners of the instrument cluster from the back. I then sheared a piece of aluminum sheet and hole sawed it to fit the auto meter gauges. I added the Auto meter fuel gauge after I took the pictures below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like you took a bunch of great pictures. But, for me, more than half of the links are dead or will not load. Am I doing something wrong or are the links now dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
