    Low is the way to go...

    I like the way it looks:) I have a set of wheels like those on my daily driver.
    What method did you use to lower the truck? springs, spindles or both.
    I am still getting all my parts together to finish up my truck.

    The gauges are also at orielly auto parts, but I betting there isn't one in your area. I installed the polished column dress up kit and headlight pull rod

    howdy, "flaming" was it hard to do the gauges?? been thinkin' bout doing the same thing , what I would like to know is did you have to cut the panel too make them fit and how did you wire them?? You get rid of all the other wiring?? Thanks TC.

    the gauges weren't to hard to install, first I modified the bezel, I had cut the domes off the back of the smaller gauges, and I disposed of the lens and the black metal thang. then I modified the whit gauge housing, and the made a sheet meat cover over the factory bezel and cut out the holes for the gauges. the first time I wired up my gauges the factory wiring harness what real messed up so I used a mechanical oil pressure and temp, and had to reroute another fuel sender wire, and for the volts solder two wire to the gauge power tabs, then I was tire of the wiring so I used a universal wring harness and was simple to wire up
