im pretty sure they sell adapters that make it so you can run electric gauges.. not sure how much they are tho.. can you modify the end of the cable to work with the luv gauges? i think it is just a square but i may be wrong its been a while since i had the dash apart..

Dam Now i feel dumb, I Knew i was over thinking the speedo/speedo cable thing. But i got lucky, hardly any of early rangers came with cruise control. Mine did so Its got a Speedo cable and a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) I can hook whatever speedo gauge i want to it! O and Love4theluv if you need any help with your speedo stuff call these guys But your 700R4 has all kinds of aftermarket stuff. so you wont have any problems. But call these guys (Speedometer Service Company
5801 W Villard Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53218 (414) 463-6660)

I think im gona use this gauge set, its got a high beam light, and turn signals to, so i like it because of those, im not sure if im just gona do without a tach or just spend a bit more and get the tach with it.

other than the fuel gauge that looks like it would be a simple swap.. not sure how you would calibrate the fuel gauge but im sure its explained in the directions

will look awesome in the luv, and you will know the exact speed your going as soon as you look "no officer i wasnt speeding i was only doing .1 over

haha Yea i wasnt to sure about the fuel gauge ether but it should work good! I hope Im heading to the junk yard, to pull a wiper mount and a grill and a the head light brezels off a blue luv, im not sure what year 78-80 Not gona be able to primer anythin this weekend, we used all the primer we had and i went to get more and they were out of Quarts. A gallon of that stuff is 220 bucks! Just a Quart of it is 57 bucks! We used a full gallon already, but we got it for free, because my dad is a painter. But it just sucks have to what another week My buddy was trying to sell me his jeep. not a bad deal but with gas suppost to hit over 5 bucks a gallon, i dont need another money pit.

(you will know the exact speed your going as soon as you look "no officer i wasnt speeding i was only doing .1 over" )

ouch! thats a pretty hefty pricetag for primer!
when you get those gauges im interested to see how difficult it is to wire them up.. i think my trans is modren enough to work... i think it was set for digital gauges

Well A couple of holes that were for the head liner have been holding me up, im not sure if we are gona get it painted black or not this weekend. It sucks when you try to set a date and well stuff always comes up. Olwell!

Had a interview at Western State Cat, in Hayden on wednesday. Well i feel like it went very good! The Head guy said i did a very strong interview. We shall See!

Well i got some plugs for the holes that were for the rod to suport the head liner, but there not right so im gona find some smaller ones and J-B weld them in. I also drilled out the saw like things that were to hold the head liner down. I didnt think there was gona be two big holes behind it. this is what i came up with! not bad!

Well havent had awhole lot of time to work on it, kinda just waiting for the weekend. Finally picked out a color! 04 Chrysler tangerine pearlcoat (paint code PVE) I like it more than the Honda and the corvette orange I had picked out. This orange is the same orange thats on the dodge ram daytona pickup.

(I know this is a bug but its a good picture of it) wow I cant wait!!!

almost painted very nice that orange should look friggin awesome i would almost call it a deep copper... but not quite... its a cool shade either way

of course there has to be a gun rack to go with the flatbed.. would be blasphemy otherwise
