Retro's 1989 GMC Sierra C1500 Sportside Indy clone

[Old77]

Antenna looks good How will you make the s10 gauges fit the gmt? are the dimensions of the gauges (minus the plastic surround) the same or close to it between the two trucks? Or is this for the Blazer, perhaps?

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Seems about the same Jacob, I haven't decided yet. If I put it in the Sierra, I would have to modify the tach to read a V8.

 

[Old77]

Pretty nice!! Surprised it still looks that good with it showing 305k miles on it

 

[RetroC10Sport]

It had a rebuild sticker on it, which is why I grabbed it.

I forgot all about those clusters, forgot I have one too, lol. Mine also had a rebuilt sticker on it, but IIRC, something didn't work right when I tested it.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Put it in the Blazer, works great.

Yes, sir!

Was hoping to catch you at Twin Peaks yesterday, but I totally thought it was on Thursday until I talked to Frank. Got there about 7:30 and checked it out, definitely some nice rides. I'll catch you another time out there.
