Thanks Duncan,I really had fun painting the dash bezel,heater and radio bezel I didn't think it would come out so well. The little bottle of paint for the needles so far has done 2 dash clusters and I have enough left to do 1-2 more.

Here is the glove box door you sent me it turned out great and fits just right.

Turned out very nice indeed!!! what a change, your wife won't be saying she doesn't want to ride in it anymore! I see the glove box has the locking latch, did you get it to work? The dash looks fantastic too!! still think it's a connection issue that the tach isn't working, still looking into it for you Cliff, unless the tach is pooped, but thinking not.

I think the tach as taken a poop. I got all the lights and other gauges to work. I will have to get a few more interior stuff before she will ride in it lol.

I'll keep an eye open for a tach and a buzzer (see your other thread)

Sorry to hear about the tach Cliff. Don`t get rid of it though. When things get better you could send it to Redline Gauge Works or someone else and they can convert it to VDO internals.

It wouldn`t be the first one I`ve happened upon that didn`t work. Truck looks great though.

Thanks prime it is going in my parts bin to be saved. I put my old one back in.

Thanks I have a few more things planned for the interior and I hope I can find them in good shape in the JY.

Which looks better with the blue caps or without?

I'm taken that the blue caps are on the left? not much light coming through, so it's no blue caps for me (although I left the blue caps on mine, but it wasn't so dim, the caps were not faded and cracked)

I am researching some LED light bulbs for the dash. BTW No worries on the Tach dash cluster or Buzzer. I am thinking about getting a aftermarket Tach and put in bucket seats and a console.

K,that would be cool, go with a Sun Tach, they look really nice! I just got a new LMC Truck magazine and they have a new product out, it's a clear dome lens for the dome/map interior light. Must have!! factory is a dull white lens
