    Gauge pods

    Does anybody have a "A" pillar gauge pod in their square body? Im looking to add a trans temp gauge and a vac gauge to mine but cant find a pod anywhere. Ive looked on Autometer's website and they dont go any older than 88. Havent found one on Ebay either. Any advice would be appreciated

    Look what followed me home.

    I put a low mile 292 in a 83 silverado with 3.42 gears and a slight stall converter. That engine was a ox. It pull trailer just as good if not better than the original 350 did.

    Yep. I put that steering wheel in it cause the one that was in it was junk and ugly. I really wanna get a late 60's early 70's cutlass/442 rally steering wheel but for a good one its expensive

    Not a celebrity steering wheel. Thats the factory steering wheel out of my SS monte. And the console isnt original for that car but it was out of another 84 cutlass though. I beleive the cutlass and 88 consoles are pretty much the same

    Build sheet found!

    The only reason i found it is because im a little thick and a double amputee and i needing to do some rewiring under the dash. It was alot easier to just take the seat out and lay on the floor than try lay upside down hanging off the seat lol
