Wow

 

[RUSH55]

Does anyone else have this? Not sure if I’ve ever seen those before?

And is it just me, or does the white painted dash steel look pretty killer?

 

[WarDamnEagle]

That must have been added. White dash looks OK but I think I prefer the black. So this rig just came out of nowhere?

 

[bobm]

Color matched spokes on steering wheel also. Looks ok

 

[Big Sexy]

Beautiful.
Too beautiful for this guy... My rig hauls lumber atop the roof rack, goes to the rabbit hunting holes and most of all is the doggie mobile.
I like the white dash though.

If you referring to the additional 3 red dash lights. The year 77 had them. I found the cut wires under the dash. The only thing I did was connect the brakes wires to a single round red light similar to what some early 40’s had

 

[RUSH55]

Interesting. Mine’s a 77, those weren’t there when I acquired it. Something else to add to the list for my period correct build. Thanks Gordon

I still think it's a dealer add on. Mine is a 77 also (late 76 build date) and I don't see those on the parts diagram nor any evidence that mine ever had them.

I stripped parts off a 76 and I think it had one of those 3 light accessories. I will look for it tomorrow.

That's a good looking piggie on BaT.

@RUSH55 I stand corrected. Looks like a narrow window from late 75 to 77 Which means I should have had one as well.

 

[RUSH55]

Look into that IG parts dealer NG found over near you in Oman or whatever. Maybe that guy has some.

 

[bobm]

How bout some door and window gaskets why you at it

 

[MudDauber]

I like the steel dash

Any thoughts on the engine...is it really a 2F? Is the valve cover correct? How about the front bumper. Looking for the experts to chime in here.

All in all, nice pig

The wife and I have been watching this. She kinda likes the white dash. Looks to be pretty nice rig. Will be interesting see the final price.

 

[Hobbs81]

My 76 has the hood with the bulge. Shouldn't this one have that?

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

Re the three lights.. mine is a May 77 and has them..

 

[bobm]

Option?? Or Cali spec??? Californication

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

great question.. My truck was sold in Cali... Hmmmmm

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

another note:
what's the difference in the 60020 and the 60030?
Mine has three lights, but I don't think the third lite has EGR on it.. I think it's just a blank red lens... I'll check tomorrow for myself and the curious
