Cage? You have a roll bar in your LC? Interesting. That looks like a good place for guages, not sure if I would want to remove my anniversary badge though....

Looks great!

Where did you end up putting your Water Temp Probe?

How hard was the install?

There is a bung on top of the water filler neck. Drilled in place and tapped 1/8 npt in place and screw the sensor in. Only needed to run 1 wire from the sensor to the gauge. Switched Power and gauge dimming power is in the console already- just tapped in. Done deal

For you guys with the older style dash, that has a bit more room under the radio, has anyone tried mounting a three pack? I have two on the pillar and need a few more.

Did those cup holders come with you're truck or did you get them aftermarket? I've got the one from slee in the dash but havn't seen those. They are sweet.

Cup holders are part of an aftermarket console. Cut off the part needed drywall screwed from the inside of the factory console.

Phil,

Yer some kind of wild man to come up with "things to add" to an 80 that already has everything!!

Install looks great! Keep us up on all mods w/ pics!

Phil... More info on this as well please. Where is the sending unit? Got pics?

I want to run those temp gauges as well as tranny temp (any ideas here?).

Thanks!

Where did you tap into the power for the dash lights w/Dimmer? I am doing an install on the A-pilliar.

Nice install.

Thanks.

Phil's on a road trip for a while and I don't think he'll have 'net access. You might leave him a PM.

Thanks Doug.

Figured it out anyway.

I am planning on doing a writeup on the water temp a-pilliar install, as it is very easy to do.
