SeattleCoug's Black Beauty Build

Changed the oil and put on a new drain plug so I don't have to mess with the OEM one and get oil everywhere every 6 months.
Got it from here (check it first but I believe this is what I got):

How did you do the temperature gauge in the clock location?

 

The gauge is battery operated (good for something like 5 years) and then I just cut a rectangular hole out of the clock plastic, popped in the temperature gauge and then routed the wire and metal end where it tells the temp. down to around my bumper somewhere.

How Much it Sticks Out:

 

Gun Rack​

I used two original holes that were already drilled in my bedliner/the roof. For the bottom of the gun rack I drilled (2) holes and threaded sheet metal screws through the rear wall of the extra cab.

Photo Shoot​

Well it wasn't much of one since we (my Dad and I) mainly went to the parking lot to tune our new CB's but I couldn't help snapping a few pics

 

Nice looking rig man, is that the church on 175th up in Shoreline?

 

Nice decals did you get them from steelcityairman?

 

I got them from eBay, here's the link to the page:

Yep, it sure is!

 

Nice! Im down around 145th, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your truck.

 

Oh wow the seller lives in my town almost , maybe I should just pic one up

 

I'll be on the lookout for your red Taco, just give me a honk if you happen to see me. I'm around 145th a fair amount (Greenwood, Aurora & 15th Avenue)

Definitely, he's very flexible when it comes to customizing your order and I believe he has more options to choose from

Not a big mod, just something that's been bugging me FOR friggin' EVER...
