Not a bad plan but 35 years in the Vegas sun turned the original into a crumbling mess.
Mine looks like the top picture on the left. Yes, I replaced the cluster. I'll have to pull it out again to check but I suspect I need the bottom...
I will once I remove it again but other than a complete lack of the spring clip or even a place to mount that clip it is identical to the 1985 one.
OK. Let me try this again. I bought a new SPEEDOMETER. My stock original cable doesn't plug into it. The original uses a spring clip to hold it....
It is working thanks to Reek!
'85 D150. The speedo was dead. Bouncing all over and going nuts. Cable looked fine so I got a new (used) speedo from eBay. It was supposed to be...
Perfect! Just what I needed!
Thanks but the switch is there, I just can't find a pair of wires that look like they would fit. Any idea what color the wires are? My manual has...

I’ve only had this a few days and never had a slant 6. Looking over the engine I found a few open vacuum lines and I think a missing spring. Also...
Thanks! I was trying to figure out how that would look being several inches wider than the bed.
I can’t find one anywhere so I’m going to make one out of 3” square steel tubing.
Thanks![ATTACH][ATTACH]
When I look at aftermarket rear bumpers they say Standard Bed. Does that mean that it won’t fit my stepside? When I bought the truck it had a...
I just bought a 1985 D150 with a slant 6. 38,000 original miles. I’ll be giving it a tune up and replacing belts and hoses but I love that slow 6
I’ll probably get this painted someday but in the meantime, how should I start restoring a 35 year old with original paint. Being in Las Vegas the...
My local auto parts stores are going out of business or going online. Is there a good online source for things like radiator hoses? Amazon gets...
