I used the auto meter dual pillar mount as well as the 1994 column one (works with earlier tilt columns), and am happy with how they worked out.

Had all the trucks out so I could clean up the garage a little better. Also had my buddies gas job over cause I was doing some brake and bearing work for him. Thought it was worth a few pictures...

And I got a "new" stack set up.... 4" muffler with a flapper sprayed semi-gloss black
Much better than the 6" mitre, it was too rude...

Wow is right! Somebody find the guy a "dome light" for that beauty. I was thinking maybe Cabelas in Buda might have one but it is probably the only thing they don't carry.

Thanks for the kind comments! The rims are from an '03 2500 but required I get 2" steel adapters to fit right. The truck is essentially brand new...all new front end, new carpet, headliner, brakes, stereo, grille, and way too many other things that my pocketbook is forgetting. This forum has been a tremendous help in my restoration. Craigslist helped a lot as well...

here's my truck on the left and stomps truck on the right, may madness 2010

[/IMG] Out of everyone there, there was only 3 first gens. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the nice '93 extra cab. If you look hard you can kind of see it in the background off to the right. Can't wait till next year hopefully more of the old trucks can get out there.
