I’m pretty sure I bought one a while back. If not I can always buy another they aren’t that expensive.

What gears does it have?

How many springs in the front pack?

3.42 and I’ll have to look at the springs. My guess would be 2.

 

[82355]

3.42’s with an SM465 and 33’s will be a nice combo.

Oh, and I could have sent you home with a three pack of springs.

Couldn’t see anything on my dash at night so I fixed that today.

Surprised you didn’t do a tach swap while you were in there

Find me a cheap one. I’ll put it in.

eBay LEDs? Looks super white compared to mine.

Yep. I think I ordered the bright white ones. I can probably find the link.

Edit: this is it but he’s not selling anymore

I agree they seem way too expensive. Surprised Martin doesn’t have an old grain truck you could rob from.

I will say if I cleaned my dash up to look like that, I’d be a lot less eager to get rid of the factory setup. That looks amazing.

 

[78SWB]

Very cheap and easy.

I love it man. Someday I will join you in the nice DD K5 club.

cluster came out tits!

 

[kennyw]

I've done a few gauge clusters like that. Always makes a huge difference. My M1028 was probably the worst one though.

 

[78SWB]

Had a local truck stop sand blast and powder coat these. $30/ea not bad.

 

[82355]

They look good!

More picture whoring lol.

It’s amazing what some cleaning, fresh argent silver on the grille, and new matching headlights does. Probably hard to tell in a photo but it’s much better.

 

[Smokinthehippies]

Damn those wheels look amazing.
What’s funny is this truck is getting all the cheap quick fixes but it’s more entertaining and better to look at than the big changes on your wheeling rig.

I can never leave stock stuff alone but I love stockish looking clean square bodies.

I replaced both headlights and it made a huge difference on how the k5 looks.

It's amazing how much of a difference new headlights can make. Was huge on my 79.
