    Custom Dash Bezel Build

    so after cutting now it's time to trace our pieces onto our abs. Since the abs is black I will use masking tape so I can see my marks. Once cut out they are ready for rough fitting into the bezel and then permanent affixing with black plastic weld. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Step 1 is to remove the back part of the gauge pod. Found the jigsaw worked well on low speed and the soldering iron with a flat iron. Make sure to wear a mask and well ventilated area as it creates some nasty smoke! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That was my plan was to. Modify the stock bezel with a new center piece made of 1/8" abs plastic. As for the angle of the gauges I was thinkin of getting some gauge angle rings to angle them towards the driver better. Only problem is the speedo and tach don't get rings because they don't make...

    Hood questions

    I second the new hood. Once it's bent it's not real easy to get straight again! Mine is bent too and it's getting replaced!

    1985 c20 Distributor Issue

    1985 c20 This only works with a mech fuel pump. If your truck is crossbreed like mine I have a carb with a electric fuel pump. Mashing the pedal doesn't do much for mine.

    R3500 bed/box

    Should be a long bed. Being a crew cab, short bed was not an option. This could be different with can n chassis though. So wait for someone else who knows a little more to chime in. Welcome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
