Yes! I know what you are saying about it looking a little to "civilian" I think the color is on the "light" side of tan and might be better a darker brown. My problem is matching the available SEM interior dye with a nice color brown seat material. I was first going for the "King Ranch" leather...

Thanks, guys. CUCVRUS..I am not a real fan of the black either ;) So I am trying to find a "neutral" color for 383 green trucks. The black tends to be hot in a truck without A/C, and the tan is cooler. The original burgundy is not the typical buyers choice for interior color! Also, once you get...

What do you guys think of this color combo? I know its not stock, but its kinda like jeep feel with the tan interior green exterior. Would it be better with a black dash and dash pad and tan seats? Or how about dash, door panels ect black and just the seats tan? :D David

Hi kkcshipp, ah good ole Ft. McClellan!! Yeah, well all I have to say about that is thank God I only spent a few months there and hope I didn't come away with anything from the chem school. As, far as the seam sealer, to my understanding is the panel bond adhesive acts as a sealer as well as...

No problem, its the way most new cars are put together and repaired at the pro shops. :grd:

As biased as my opinion may be, Ive had no problems from the ones that I have installed several years ago. David

I am not trying to offend. Thank you for your response. I think the reason the 24 volt gauges you install work, is because of the power supply being 24v...not that the original gauge is 24 volts. The fuse for the gauge on the fuse box is 28v. I think.

Because the supply to the original CUCV 12v voltmeter gauge is 24 volts... hence you can install a 24 volt gauge. That's the info I was looking for conformation on.

Ok. that's what I am saying. The original gauge is 12v and the resistor drops the supplied power to 12v so the gauge works. Like the 24 volt supply going to the GP resistor bank on the fire wall. My question is: What's the CUCV voltmeter supply..24 volts? If so then can I use a 24 volt...

Ok, thanks. However, all the original style CUCV voltmeter gauges I have seen have had the ceramic resistor installed on the 2 posts on the rear of the gauge. If the gauge is 24 volt what's the need for the resistor? (original style gauge) Thus, my question: Is the power source (orange wire)...

Not trying to argue but this was posted earlier. I am just trying to clarify. David

Question: The original voltmeter installed in CUCV's is 12v with a resistor to knock down the 24v power source, correct? Then can I use a 24v NOS military voltmeter like ones from Saturn Surplus with the one wire boot connection? If so where can I get a connector to splice into the old 2 wire...

Thanks for all the complements. These things take a lot of work to get this nice.

It's been a while but I just got this one done. [thumbzup]

Tires are 285/75/16 Nitto Trail Grapplers. Great Tire. David

Yes, Rapco 383 green. David

The seat covers are custom made by my local auto upholstery shop, and the consoles are on eBay all the time. The consoles are from Chevy suburbans from the same era as the CUCVs. David

Vinyl.

The dashes are the vinyl over foam just like the original. Top tip# 1 In order for the repo dash pad to fit exactly level you will need to slightly hammer down the metal dash support hump right above the ash tray on top of the dash. This helps the new pad fit nice and tight down over the support.

Ha! That would help, Dashes Direct.com https://dashesdirect.com/?wpsc_product_category=truck-gmc-chevy
