    Heat and soundproofing material

    I recently used this stuff. It took 2 rolls of it. I also used the spray on adhesive made by the same brand. I couldn't find any of it at a chain parts store (autozone, advance, etc) but my local off-road shop had it. The rolls cost about $45 a piece and I think the glue was around $15. So about...

    Dash Mounted Aftermarket Gauges

    Y'all are full of great ideas. I already have the holes cut so a little bit of modifying wouldn't be too much work. Maybe try to fit the gauges at the the same angle that the radio and AC controls are? Not sure but in my head it sounds like it would look good with uniform angles. Have some 2...

    Dash Mounted Aftermarket Gauges

    I hope the visibility will be okay. I still haven't put the seat back in to tell for sure. Finding a clean way to angle them towards the driver side would be awesome. I can't leave anything I do alone so who knows, might just tear it all back out in week and give it hell

    Dash Mounted Aftermarket Gauges

I went with 2 inch Bosh gauges. (No they are not autometer, I'm building on a budget!) I now have a temp, voltmeter and oil...

It is a free event and the city blocks off part of downtown Amarillo so all the cars can cruise the streets. I would guess there was over 500 cars that came last year. I'm not...

    Gauge Conversion- Dummy Lights to Factory

    I have an 85 with dummy gauges. I recently picked up a set of factory gauges out of an 82. For some reason I thought I could just plug in the new gauges and the lights, blinkers etc would work. WRONG. I understand that I will need to put sending units on to communicate with said gauges. When I...

    Hello everyone. I have an 85 GMC K15. 350/700r4. Pretty basic truck with no thrills-crank windows, no headliner or dome light and a single tank. I bought the truck with the help of my dad in high school and it has been my daily driver ever since. It still needs a lot of work and is coming...
