RESTORING A CLASSIC INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES | 1973-1987 Squarebody GM Truck Project Ol Yeller
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This time on SPPTV we look at Removing and Restoring the Instrument Panel and guages from Ol Yeller, Mike's 1977 Chevrolet C10 Truck. Again we are working in the freezing cold of a Manitoba winter, so simple things can become painful. And we are limited on what we can work on. The weather man said it was going to be terrible weather all weekend, so an inside the truck/garage project like fixing up the instrument panel fit great.

I'm doing this now for my C20. Thanks for the great video!
you're way tougher than me working in the cold like that. congrats on 30 k guys!
I'm reliving my early high school days watching this. My first mode of transport was a 76 Chev c10
I've got the same truck basically. Same color too but it's a 73. This video was insanely helpful. Thing sat in my buddy's back yard for 8 years so instrument panel was a mess. Now it's clear and working 👌 thank you for the tips
Man I wish I had the space to work on mine like that. That is a huge improvement.
That woodgrain is in incredible shape, looks like the lighter Scottsdale color, the color that is impossible to find
we need to see more of this truck...
Great to see this video is useful for people and getting some views. Big impact, cheap upgrades are the best!
SMASH THAT THUMBS UP 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.......Whoooo.. SPPTV 🔧
Damn that’s awesome. Definitely going to do this for my K5 I’m fixing up.
awesome job... the heater controls turned out great.
It says right in the owners manual to clean the instrument cluster once every 30 - 40 years whether it’s needed or not. Congratulations for getting it done! You are getting caught up!
“UV” light plays hell with everything, even the dash pad. Grind down the high spots, fill in the low spots, then get some nice brown leather, pattern a French seam down the middle, left to right and use “Weldwood” contact cement and wrap you dash. The use a 140 white thread for contrast. Get-er-done! P.S. Fords Owners manual maintenance stops at 6 years, then blank! ASE Master since 1978
Good job
Awesome job 🔧👍🏽👍🏽
I had a 91 Burb lots of fun!
Great job and Another great video 👍👍
Looks great! You just made more work for me! Lol! Im gonna try it out on my 78k10! Cant wait for the dash pad!
Nice work
This is badass! looks awesome and keep up the good work

speedo cable holding it in
Love the content but really love the snow been so long since ive seen it here in Texas !
If need be see if you can get some of these parts from LMC or some other company that sells parts for trucks like ours. Also not sure how true it is, but if you ever find that your instrument panel lamps don't work check and make sure you don't have a blown parking lamp bulb in the tail lights. Hopefully that's why mine don't work in my 85 C30 dually.
30,000 subs hell yeah
I’ve got a 1976 Chevy Itasca Winnebago and the instrument cluster went haywire when I got my alternator replaced. It’s on a Chevy p30 chasis. Do you take orders for repairs?
Cangratulations on the 30,000 subs :)
Hey do you know where to order an instrument cluster for this year? i have been trying to find one exactly like yours for 82 gmc sierra
How did you polish the clear cover i have to do the same to my c10. any tips would really help. Keep up the great vids......
I have a 1978 K30 4x4 that s the same lemon color. It truly is a lemon so I'll assuming that's why the previous owner painted it yellow. Pretty soon the crappy transmission and crappy np203 are going to get ousted for a 4l80e and a twin stick np205. Also, looking to dump the weak ass waller'ed out 350 for a 6 liter LS.
First
.....have you seen my CB radio? hahahhahhhahaaaa
I hate the winter and the cold and im only in Massachusetts...I don't know how you guys do it in Canada
Somebody knows where to buy the red lens from light gauges?
Hello guys, my friend tells me that, the gauge lens retainer from 73 to 80 is metal, and after the 81 model, it comes with plastic. Is this true? If that true how we find it. Thanks...
the AC control knobe do pull off
Yea they do but they are glued onto the arms AND the arms usually have a double serrated tooth on each side as well. If you can get away with leaving them on, best thing to do is leave them alone, it's not hard to bend up the arms or screw up the pivot hardware.
The idiot lights arent supposed to have the clear plastic covering them like the gauges?
How did you get the radio control knobs off I really don’t wanna break them 😂
Yeah it's sketch but ya just gotta pull hard.
Mine looked just as bad, Florida 78 serious sun damage. Started with 320, then 600, then 1000, 3000. then buffed out with a mild polish. Mine look new. The blue on the back is a special reflective. Clean it well to get brighter illumination.
Did you ever get it running?
your retainers are push nuts they are not typically reusable local parts store should have them.
how adout mech!
Nice video!! Just what I needed! You got to come over and checkout my next project, 1977 GMC K25 long box beast!!
30k shit Edward smoked hands deserved 100k I use it at least once a week getting in customers smoked out car😂
Lol....that’s a name we haven’t heard in quite some time
I will trade you a 2000 Mazda truck for that truck have title n hand nice lil truck
