    Did you rebuild the cluster yourself? It turned out good.

    Thanks. Ya, I did it myself. Everything but the chrome bezel is original. The aftermarket support for these trucks is great. . .maybe better then Jeeps. The gauge faces and dial rings are replacement decals and the speed increments were touched up with model paint.

    I have a running/driving truck again, well kinda.


    Rebuilt rear suspension, rear Eaton HO72 axle, and 2 piece driveshaft (new u-joints and center support bearing).




    Repainted the upper dash black and the dash face a matching interior grey. Also replaced the light switch, dimmer floor switch, ignition switch, cigarette lighter and the rebuilt instrument cluster with working lights.





    New battery box and hold down. All new wiring harness for the entire truck. New battery cables and grounds. New voltage regulator and resistor. New paper element air filter.

    That thing is in serious need of some more paint in the engine bay and some cloth style wire loom.

    Somehow I missed this until now.

    Is the bear? Is the guy?

    I don't understand why you would use seam sealer in the middle of a panel. If you are worried about the weld area being sealed, you should use a poly primer, or an epoxy coating.

    Ya that was my attempt. I guess an epoxy would have been better. I haven't had anytime to work on it in the last month between work and moving houses. A good sanding will remove most of the sealer. . . . Did I mention I am not a body guy.

    I was wondering about the seam sealer, too. I'm no expert so I didn't say anything. Figured you had researched it somewhere.

    New replacement doors located, rust repaired and hung/fitted doors.





    The passenger side cab corner had been 'tweaked' over the years leaving the door gaps too large and inconsistent. Before and after welding.





    De-greased and threw some paint in the engine bay.
