Title: gauges and bumpers
Post by: gpday06 on June 19, 2006, 11:40:00 pm
hey i want to replace the gauges in my '79 C10 with something newer but cant find what i need but i cant afford the digital gauges i need the mechanical speedo with the 5" electrical fuel gauge and the smaller electrical volt, clock, oil press, and temp. and also will a '81 bumper fit onto the '79?

The dash gauge set up will fit in out of newer trucks but the pin positions in the plug are diferent.
The 81 bumper will fit if you use the 81 brackets and cut the front of the frame off to match the 81, and the side brackets will need holes drilled in the frame behind the core suport mounts as they use two bolt per side and the 79 uses only one.
