Data plate pics

Post by HingsingM37 »

Well gang I finally figured out how to paste links to my photos here (thanks for the help Bruce).
I installed my data plates last week. Getting closer to having an official looking truck :)

Nice job on the plates, looks great, paint job also. :D What did you use to white letter under your gauges? I've been trying to find some way of doing that to mine. What kind of speedo. is that with the caution colors on it?
Good work David, your truck is looking good!

Thanks Carter.
The dash gauge letters and speedo warnings are decals from Rick Larsen. :)

I'm not nitpicking here I think the truck looks great, but you do know that the speedo warning caution/warning decal is acturally for the tach on duces and 5 tons? It was to warn the drivers of getting the multifuel diesel engine into to high of RPMs for the motor and had nothing to do with road speed.

Again I think the truck looks great and your doing a great job!
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

Thanks guys.
K8ICU, Yes I know. The thought of having a Warning and Danger at only 35-45MPH seemed kind of funny :wink:

Now that made me laugh after the double take to see the face! You have to have a sense of humor if you take something like this on. Bravo. :lol:
