I keep posting photos and they appear normally immediately after I post them. When I go back later they have disappeared even though the linl in the post is correct... Anyone know what I'm doing wrong??

its titled as a 79 but sits on a 78 frame & I'm the third owner ...Now i just have to figure out how to get all the dash guages working, since all i have right now is the mechanical speedo working, but she cruises at 70 down the road.

Gauges are mostly grounds. Go slow, be prepared to replace wires as needed.

Do you have old style tube fuses or the new square ones? My 210 has the old ones. If you can't find them in a parts sore, buddy up the guys at Auto Z or Advanced --they have been clearing out their stocks.

Look on top of the trans for the speedo-whatzit and clean it off gently with a brass brush. Die-electric grease won't hurt it and will get rid of a lot of road dirt.

Nifty Travco. I like it. :0)

it'll be a long practice luckily i'll have all winter to fix them, i've dug into the dash and so far it looks like its going to be a mess, there's cut wires from a prev owner and i do still have the old tube style fuses, i'm going to switch it over to a more modern fuse box out of a donor junk yard vehicle. I figure worst case scenario is i replace all the stock guages with aftermarket, as fro advance or autozone, I wish we had them up here, but Oreilly's is the only similiar store since they took over Checkers,

Weird, all seems to be working now. Maybe it's me.. Are anti-hallucinations when you don't see things that are really there?? [emoticon]

Yep, UKdodge, that's it. I've even had the pleasure of confirming
their molecular density and base gravitational pull when I've RAN into them. Then it's called an "anti-collision". It has something to do with the neutrino and smithereen theory, I surmise... lol!

Nice pics, by the way - did you add the metal roof extension on top? Good work...

Posted By: chinook440 on 09/17/09 06:53am

Thanks for the help leeann , i think i understand it now .

The roof was like that when i bought it , but it was,nt to extend the roof as these chinooks had a raised step on the roof from the factory but it would have been just all figerglass.
It,s just a covering that the p.o. added either to repair some damage or perhaps to reinforce the roof to walk on ?
