If it has electronic speedometer, I am interested

I assume an electronic speedometer doesn't have a cable going to it? (I've never seen one). I'll check when I get it home and let you know.

I put that in around 2 months after I got the truck, it was a (appearing never used) Sony xr-2100, I something isn't right in the mechanism as it would try to eat tapes, but not a big deal since I have my Bluetooth setup on it so I stream from my phone most of the time, interestingly I found another Sony head unit, a xr-2600 (with line out), which is going to be put in my 79, also in very nice shape.

Now-a-days I like a USB input on the back. I've got a 64GB usb drive with music on it. Local (hillbilly) radio stations piss me off. One will play journey (something over played in my mind) so I switch to the other good station. Bet ur bottom dollar the next song is by Journey on that station.

Little rant here.....sorry but who wants to listen to a slow ass pink floyd, bob segar, dust in the wind.....slow moody ****.......On their way to work when their trying to wake up!!!! Play something a bit faster to help me wake up! Sorry had to vent lol

Since I don't smoke I decided to swap the ashtray out for something more usable to me, a dual USB charger. The way I did it required no modification to the ash tray door so i can revert it back if need be.

Also got my auxiliary fuse block installed and wired up, Powered from the junction block on the firewall and has a 70A relay to provide it power using the original fuse blocks ign acc to power the relay. I like this as it has leds on each circuit that light up if the fuse goes out. Also it has a ground buss bar which makes finding a good ground easy (grounded to the parking brake ground connection). Wish I would have done this 3 years ago.

My 15x8 Wheel vintiques series 62s arrived and I hit them with some white rustoleum enamel, and off to the tire shop.

Got some 31/10.5/15 BFG K02's put on it and shined up the dog dishes that I stole from my 79.

Well, I needed to get my brake lights working. A little video call on messenger to @Vbb199 and him telling me it was the switch on the pedel with orange and white wires going to it was the brake switch. I went and got a new one installed and cleaned up wire connections and now they work.

Safety inspection? In Texas? Damn, I figured their only inspection would be that you are properly locked and loaded! Good luck

So I tackled the plate lights next. Had to do a little modification to them but, came out pretty good.

Old one with new light after a little dremel cutting.

Back of it

Bent the tabs to hold it in there snug

Cut the ends off the old one so I could secure it to bumper.
