The machine shop I eventually found says the original flywheel was ruined by the Auto Parts store when they put it on a brake disk lathe. I left the original flywheel with the machine shop, I did not need something else to stub my toe on in the garage :) So, I found a used replacement and...

Well, I have now ordered 6 different flywheels, all of which are supposed to fit my truck and I still do not have a match. I keep receiving flywheels with 12.5 inches between the holes or an inset of approximately .75 inches. The last one I ordered was from e-bay and the picture looked like...

That looks great!

The old flywheel went 10 rounds with the grinder and still has odd hills and valleys. The shop was afraid to grind any more because of how thin the end result would be. So that is why I'm looking for a new flywheel.

Absolutely no joy! :mad: I have checked several different locations and the flywheel that they think will fit does not match the measurements of the original flywheel. The parts store around the corner thinks they have found the right part but it will not arrive until Monday. I'm out of town...

We had the old clutch out in under an hour. Unfortunately, the fly-wheel has heat cracks, so I am betting I do not get to put everything back together today. I'm looking for a place that might be able to grind the original (the heat cracks don't look too deep).

I replaced the gauge cluster this weekend. The new cluster looks and works great and all the gauges are nicely tucked back into the original gauge "V". So, now I have two holes of varying size cut in my dash and no need for them. I have a replacement center section. I hate cutting the old...

I want one ;-)

I feel your pain, I am trying to fix all the modifications that were made to my dashboard. The guys decided to go with a typical 5 gauge cluster but they only put spedo and two others in the "V". They put Gas Gauge and Amps in the dash and drilled out the Choke and Cigar lighter holes to...

Thanks for the pictures Bobby57. Do you have an original heater control controlling your new Heat/AC unit?

OK, I am looking for opinions here. I need to fix my dash. I have the following issues: 1). The ignition hole is no longer needed. 2). The Choke cable was removed and that now contains a gauge which I will soon no longer need. Unfortunately the original hole has been enlarged. 3). The...

Since this trim seems so rare, I wonder if someone has possibly modified the "around the cab" trim for this purpose.

Wow! A picture is worth a thousand words. I know you knew what you were asking for but I had never heard or seen such a thing until you sent the picture. Good Luck!

Mine was tough to get out the first time, now it almost comes out too easy. Once you get past the first few exits, it should be much easier. I know this because I am on my third speedo and I still do not know what speed I am traveling. I thought I would save a few bucks by shopping on e-bay...

Are you talking about the inside trim piece that goes around the sides and top of the windows on the inside of the cab?

No such thing as a dumb question, especially when dealing with a dumb guy like me! Good point about the high/low beam, I will check that this weekend. Since I did not do the wiring, I do not know where it all is or how it was done. I need to spend some quality time tracing the wiring out but...

Thanks for the advise. I just plan to tease the friends with beer until the job is done. Plus it is really already too hot in Texas to be drinking much beer right now. I ordered the original replacement clutch last week. It should arrive sometime this week. I hope to attack this job over...

I have a brake light problem. The brake lights and the turn indicators all work fine when the lights are off. However, with the head lights on, the brake lights do not work at all. This truck was rewired before I purchased it, so it has an aftermarket wiring harness in it and the original light...

Thanks for the advice, i will order the 11 inch. I actually have two friends that want to help with this clutch replacement so it should be a breze!

P.S. I finally added some pictures of Blue Thunder, check out the link in my signature.
