Very sure everyone has to stop and look and ask about your truck.  I like your solution for keeping track of your speed in KPH (little markers on the speedometer dial). Very neat way to help you remember just "how fast am I going?" - haha!  Thanks for sharing!

in Germany you have to add the km/h stickers to a mph speedo. If you don´t have them you will not get your license to drive the car on the road... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 45 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 45 | Thank you Peggy,
I know every thread from "Thoroco"......here and in other sites... I made research about all the parts who where built into the truck.... the owner didi not know very much about the technical modifications.
It seems that Dave was a verey helpful and friendly person.
It´s sad to see how much knowledge will lost and a lifework will be forgotten when someone pass away without having family who share the passion or continue / honor their life work.... | | |
