Got to love these old trucks! Bet you can't remove the shifter on a newer model just to do some wiring under the dash. I even bet you wouldn't be doing any wiring under the dash of a newer model truck.
Personally I like the stock look. My speedo still works but the other gauges do not. I even verified it with a GPS and it's surprisingly accuarate. I did add a temp and oil pressure gauge. I don't like to guess when it comes to those two.
Thanks for all the responses :) I attaches a few pics of the before and after. I am running the flathead with a 4 speed non syncro. It's a lot of work to drive but I love it.
Just wanted to say hello as this is my first post on this site. I look forward to sharing ideas.
I've had my truck for 4 years and have been on various sites. All the work Ive done to the truck has been in my own garage with the help of my family.
