I have some friends coming over this weekend to help do some work on my truck Surprises will be coming.

Cool Cliff!!

Well my plans fell through this weekend. I can't use the Cherokee seats I am too big for them

Did your truck come with a bench Cliff?

Did your truck come with a bench Cliff?

Yes it did. The problem came in after placing it where I needed it. I hooked up my jumper cables to adjust the seat,once done I couldn't fit under and behind the steering wheel and I had the steering wheel all the way up. I see only one solution to this and it's to get factory buckets. Can you say needle in a haystack and high price.

^^^what about buckets from a bronco Cliff

Might look into Explorer seats. Picked up a pair of power limited leather seats that will probably find their way into the truck, especially if I can make the heated seats function...

As to the tach, I went and picked up a 2 3/4" aftermarket unit as it was more reliable. Just hose clamped it to the column.

That Tach looks awesome Eric! Never seen the white gauges before and the tach matches perfectly

The Sun tachs like that actually used to come new with big hose clamps to mount them.. it was a pretty common way to put them on.

The p/o did the gauges. I'd like to pull the factory tach out though.

Eric, is your truck really idling at 400 rpm? That's amazing!

 

[1970Custom]

Yep, 400-600 on average... three pumps of the throttle and she's off...

After he did his, a bunch of us ended up painting ours as well. I ended up selling my painted cluster though, I decided I liked the original black gauges better.

I dig the white, next is swap to colored LED bulbs then to custom gauge cluster.

Back when I did mine, my entire is interior was black, from the dash to the instrument cluster bezel, etc. The white stuck out like a sore thumb. And now that I'm going for the bone stock look, they wouldn't work out.

Man did I dig how much more visible the gauges were though.
