Found this old video to show my setup.  There is swearing in the video

When you rebuild your gauges and want the needle color to match, Use Testors model paint Fluorescent Orange #1173

Recent Rambling on front accessories info i figured out the hard way.  Sometimes the "racecar stuff"  Is what you need no matter how stock your engine is.

 There is swearing.

buy the expensive fuel pump and be done with it.  Don;t be afraid to buy "racecar" parts if they're more reliable.  I have a lot of so called "racecar" parts on my bone stock 1978 350.  you get what you pay for.

There is swearing in the video.

2015  Playing with the gopro for the first time.  All I can say is Look how straight Scott got my truck at the body shop!!!

Camera mounted in two different positions.  Now ya know how good a job Scott did for me.  Dang he got that old truck straight!!!!

I don't know if this is allowed but...
Brown & Brown PRO Custom Paint & Body Shop at 44 Midland Ct, Winder, GA 30680  Painted my truck in 2007 and made it this gloriously smooth on a longbed!!  Ask for Scott!   Best Part about Scott was the entire time I wanted all these expensive lil upgrades and stuff and he did his best to save me money and shoot down my grand ideas about paint n body that I didn't need.  He was the real one!

I know some of you remember when this was a new thing.  Well photobucket ruined it for me and everyone else when they broke the internet that one time.

Was watching videos of these things.

I enjoy my Hornblasters Shocker XL kit with a 5 gallon tank.

Lots of people love em, lots of people hate em.  I don't do pranks, I only use it when someone comes into my lane (and they go right back the #$%^ where they came from) or with deer.  The deer are funny.  They run out in the road and you hit the horns and they start scrambling on the pavement like a scared cat on a linoleum floor in the kitchen.

If you're within 30 feet of it it hurts.  I know this, because a few times I drove it to work, got home, drove in the garage, closed the door, was getting out and my lunchbox hit the steering wheel button...  man if I'da had to pee i think I woulda.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

I also added a Chevy C60 airbrake gauge where the blank one normally is to keep up with the 150psi the horns have in the 5 gallon system.  I like stock look.  my gauge is an 80's version but the 70's versions are like finding hens teeth and when you do find one they're prohibitively expensive.  I'm happy with what I have though.  have all 4 horns under the hood on the front half of the LH wheel housing.  Compressor mounted on the RH wheel housing.  even made a manifold for it that takes normal air hoses so I can use it to pump up tires or whatever you may need air for...

Can't promise there's no swearing but here ya go guys.  get to see the gauge and hear the horn.

I love em but don't be an idiot with them.

Happy 250 Yall!!!

Dad got a new 30' flag pole with a 5x8 flag we got it put up the day before. 

He's a Vietnam Navy Veteran.  He was the guy they took into the field to either recover downed jets or blow them up while surrounded by a bunch of marines watching their back. 

Thank you to all who served!  We owe you all everything.  literally everything!
