    GMC-IH

    Good info ^^ Thanks ... Looks like it's going to be difficult to attain a electric control switch that will switch fuel flow from the dash for control over all three fuel tanks ... Like what I have on line now ... Switching between the two tanks using a dash mounted switch (A IH factory ele...

    Oh yeah, I knew what it's for .. Been hunting one for a year or so .. Ran up on a NOS switch (Most likely the last one in existence) What it does is the gas tanks (3) level gauge .. It don't control the fuel flow only the fuel gauge ... Left tank, Center tank and the Right tank sending...

    Thanks ... Didn't want to get too far away from the stock look outside .. The Dagmar bumper, fat fenders, 47 Ford hood ornament was a bit faraway from looking stock, but did enhanced the truck with what I had going down ... IMO Main thing was getting rid of the skateboard look of the tires...

    No, the IH truck only had one 16 ga tank on the driver's side .. I added a 30 ga bed tank, using a ele. switch from a GM dual tank truck .. Pull switch on the dash works the GM ele. fuel valve .. Switch on the right of the gauge switch .. As far as the right side IH optional aux tank goes...

    VDO Series 1 3-3/8 inch Gauge

    Thanks ... Good info As long as it's 3-3/8" O.D. ... I found one, chrome wasn't very good sent it off to have it replated, been months ago .. Thinking I could find a good one that doesn't need chroming ?? Wanting to match the bezel that's on the VDO tach that I'm running ... It's the...

    A preview of how it's going to be looking ... Anybody got a 3-3/8" VDO Series 1 gauge to sell .. Don't matter if it works or not, I need only the chrome bezel .. I have a old console manifold vacuum gauge from a early 60's Pontiac LeMans ... The bezel that's on it is not a match to the...

    GMC-IH

    This just might turn out looking dang nice .. ?? I gave the vent a slight tilt .. More cracks to be filled .. Eek ... (Maybe I should rephrase that ?) Done with the cracks .. Left a rolled edge where the Pod meets up with the dash .. Thinking that would be a better look than butt to butt ...
