Before and after

[Warren Lovell]

Here are before and after shots of my instrument panel.

Shazzaam! That is beautiful.
Where did you get the shiny new instruments and what were the approximate costs of them?

I see you have a high beam indicator.
Is that a feature of trucks from '83 on? I seem to have read that somewhere - most likely here.
Nice going.

Beautiful job Warren! Where did you find the blue high beam lense?

 

[ida34]

What? No paint on the mounting screws!!!!

 

[red devils dude]

hey thats something as much as I like the 24087 I think I'm painting mine 383 or 34086.

 

[Trango]

Man, Warren, that looks really sharp.

 

[SixBuy]

That's downright pretty! Much as I like the CARC paint it just wasn't made for looks. Where did you find the 'danger' decals for the tach/speedo?

 

[Polverone]

If you guys need some of them "Danger" stickers for the tach I could make them up here.

 

[Desert Rat]

Gary,

PLEASE do!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polverone
I'll take you up on that.

 

[Boatcarpenter]

Me too

The blue dash light had a ocver over it which I removed. It is crimped on the inside.

The danger sticker came from Rick Larsen I believe.

The guages are mostly from saturn Surplus.

I thought about going Carc, but I have a vehicle that is already carc inside and wanted to look at something "new" inside. I have to say, the response to the gloss dash is overwhelmingly positive, even with my anal retentive military vehicle buddies!

Ok I am the first customer. Can anybody get me a good shot of the original Military "Danger" sticker as my truck doesn't even have one.

I would need a picture taken dead center straight on so that I can see the size in reference to the numbers so I can judge length, color, how it looks, and lettering style. I believe the original had an arrow tip on the top end of the red Danger part if I am not mistaken.

IE: Take a digital picture of it at a 90° angle. - [there's that Alt+248 trick we learned here ].

Heck, I can knock these things out by the boat load once I got the arwork done and cheap!

Gary, not to rain on your parade.... but Here are ricks decals

 

[red devils dude]

he(Gary) might be alot cheaper thoe.

 

[mangus580]

RDD, Rick gets $3 for the speedo stickers, and $2 for the tach I think. If you need cheaper than that, well... you shouldnt have a deuce

 

[red devils dude]

hhmm and yet there it is(see avatar)

 

[SixBuy]

Nothing is ever simple! I looked at Rick's and the danger decal Warren has on his speedo. They're both different from the danger decal on my tach. Mine is red and smaller. Looks to be about half to third smaller. Seems like nitpickin' but were both designs original? I'd like to replace what I've got.

 

[red devils dude]

look at Warren's before pic I bet thats what your looking for.

 

[SixBuy]

RDD, 'zactly! I got my old tach out and took a couple of pix.

P, measuring across the arrow at the 'N' the decal is .250" Wide, the red band is .160" and the letters are .120". Although the pix doesn't do justice, the arrow stretches from 2600 RPM to 3500 RPM.
