i have always been a fan of your truck, i love it, every bit of it. i have to say its by far my favorite on here.

Trooperthorn

I had a little fun on the way home from work last Wednesday. Need a locker.

Hi Trooperthorn. Indeed those are Good Year Wrangler MT Military OZ 37X10.5X16.5 Tires. They're all fairly new as well, oldest being 2003 - and all were take offs with 95% or more tread left.. I bought 5 of them from the 100 dollar man in socal... I haven't done any major off roading with them, just fireroads but I love them. The reason I chose them though is because I'm running 4:10 gears and they help me get up to hiway speed with the brownie in high. (I have a 727 auto)

At 45 indicated I'm going 70 according to the GPS...

The kidney bean 16.5" alloys came with the 1972 truck, 5 of em and I think those tires were the best choice as far as size, load rating and cheapness in a 16.5 " tire...

Trooper, im glad my piece contributes to something for some one. My goal for this truck is to make it look mean, burrly, and tough. i need to get a visor, flat black primer, tint my windows, and build a deer slayer bumper but im also gunna hang my tire chains off of the bumper too. with locks of course so no one can take them. that should make it look like an alaskan truck from back in the high country lol but i live in montana so close enough

Feveree40, that truck of yours was my kick in the but to either by a 1st gen diesel or build one at any cost. Well, a poor high school kid cant really buy one so i bought 3 and built one ahhaha.

Richie, i love both your trucks, but one question. Do all those gauges in your ext. cab bug the crap out of you? lol cuz they'd drive me insane sitting on the tops of the dash. very nice set up tho

Richie O

From where I sit, 6ft tall, they do not block the front of the hood so they are not in the way at all. I really don't even see them unless I look at them. When I built it I kept checking to see if it was going to interfear with operation. One thing for sure is I have the only oneof those. I have a new old stock 4 gauge banks dash pod for my 89. I have not installed it yet due to not having gauges for it yet. I will have 7 in that truck also. I already have a tach on the colume, egt and boost on the pillar. I have a fuel pressure gauge on the dresser but still need 3 more gauges. Most likely tranny temp, engine temp, and oil pressure.

Cool thread, guys.

tdimark should post one of his gasser 1st gens in here. lol

its green/red/grey/silver/blue/ ...probably 10 trucks making it into 1

W150CTDproject

lol im 6' 1" and anything on the dash drives me insane which is why i have all my gauges on the pillar, boost, pyro and my tach. Im gunna build one of those shelves like in the old chevys where the sun visors are and im gunna mount my CB, toggles for both 14" electric fans (coming soon), toggle for my loading lights that are gunna be on my head ache rack, and a dif and trans temp. plus all that space to put the cell phone when the gf or mom calls and i dont wanna talk in the dash im getting rid of all the factory gauges, im goin with a polished aluminum back plate with after market volts, water temp, fuel, oil, and speedo. 3 3/8" for speedometer and 2" full sweeps for all the others. black face to match my pillar gauges. plus a blue light for high beam indicator and green on each side for blinkers.

'89 w250 up front, 93 d350 out back. Minivan seats from the scrap yard, intercooler from an 08. She was a mutt--but I loved her!

Crossy's son

Didn't you scrap it? or did you just sell it.

Nice holes in the dash.

G1625S

Yeah, scrapped it, I'm afraid. Kept the engine though--going to come apart this winter to get freshened up for my '96!

Yeah, the PO put the holes in the dash for some big truck gauges. Pretty hokey
