Hey Scott - There's some kind of SNAFU with Blueprint's phone system. It keeps sending me off to nowhere and can't get a human on the phone. Please PM me with your direct number and I'll get with you on that engine.

Hijack alert, on why rubber hose is not good.. A short time into the video, look in the back, you see an orange Mopar catch fire..
I looked at it earlier in the day.. He had garden hose covered line to the firewall and bare hose to the carb. 3 feet worth, maybe..
I'm thinking he had too much play in the line (not tied down) and it got ripped off his carb..
Just figured that you may want to get them while they are available as it often seems that when you get to the point of needing them to complete the job, they become unobtainium...

Thanks to the post on Summit's big sale on Sun Pro gauges, I got four gauges and a tach for $25.00 delivered
This is my current dash set up. There was an optional tach in the upper middle. Nowadays, they go for rediculous money on ebay. Even repro's are stupid expensive. No thanks. This ain't a Concours resto truck. The oil pressure gauge works, the rest don't, speedo and gas gauge work great. It is all in good shape. I am not interested in butchering this one for what I need to do.
Here is the gauges I got. It looks like a couple have sat on the shelf for a while by how yellowed the packaging has become.
I got another gauge panel from a '67 Chevy C10. These were slightly different than later years with a choke knob on the upper right and the wiper and headlight switch on the left. Later, they moved the wiper switch over and removed the choke pull. Seems smart as the wiper motor is right behind upper right dash. Here I took it apart and test fitted the new gauges in the gauge face. All fit perfectly. The problem is the stuff in back that is in the way.
Here is the back of the gauge panel. I left the four stock lower gauges at the yard. Maybe some one else would want them. The wire harness is the tape type on the trucks. Nice to have a good spare.
I will need to cut up the lens. See the letters wiped off on the gas gauges, I got a third lens from another truck.
These are the two sections at the back. I need to make cuts on the green right part.
Here is the back with the cuts made: Not as bad as they thought.
I only needed to take a hammer and the dolly to the backing plate to make room for the tachometer.
Here is what it will look like only I will use my original dash face.
