Thanks all for the warm welcome. Here's the only photo I currently have online. It was taken last year in my driveway with my trusty watchdog Violet.

Yeah, those are red oxide primer spots in a failed attempt to cover the rusty surfaces years ago. LOL! Light wet sanding takes the primer off easily.

I forgot to mention that all the original gauges work and light up. They have never been out of the truck. The only gauge fix was a voltage reducer diode soldered inline to the gas gauge hot wire when I converted to 12 volt and of course I switched all the bulbs to 12 volt. In fact, this is the site I learned how to do the conversion. :-)
