My tach is in the same spot, and I like the gages, they look better than the originals

Nice, I have a 78 bonanza I bought for $500. In better shape but not a better runner. What kind and model are those guages?

You mean the whole truck (the brown color) no. Just primer for now, then a co-worker is going to paint it for me later on.
