Default Instrument Cluster

It looks like the Digital cluster from Dakota.
I'm using the Analog Cluster from Dakota, the best looking cluster on the market, in my opinion.

I'M putting a aluminum 5.3 in a 1939 chevy truck. It has 799 heads. The frt suspension is a mustang 2 from tci. The rear is a 4 link from tci also. I'm going to box the frame for more strength. I do not have a wiring harness but i do have a pcm for my 5.3 engine. I do have a budget so it will take awhile. I have a 700r4 but i heard that a 4l60e is better.
I'm new to this forum i hope im in the right place. Can someone tell me what o what for.
Thanks

I'm still picking away at it very slowly. I had a full head of steam right up until I put the front end together ( drop spindles, tall ball joints, tubular control arms, stock style disc brakes) and dropped it down and my tire is touching the outer edge of the wheel well. I threw the wrenches down and walked away. ��
I just wish there was a rotor that had the wheel mounting surface pushed back a little......

What is the recommended camber spec? Just for mock up they are at zero. Worth a shot.

On a street car I wouldn't run more than -1 degree of camber.

That's unfortunate. Sell wheels and get new ones?

did the drop spindles push the hub out further as well? maybe run drop springs instead?

No, the factory style disc push it out quite a bit. Sold the wheels a couple days ago. Looking for something 2 PC. So I can pick the offset. Seriously considering american racing salt flats in 18"

I bought 18×7 and 18x9 Rocket Booster wheels and 235/275 tires. Work perfectly.

Pretty much done, having a fuel starvation problem on acceleration when below 3/4 tank but I managed to put 1,800 miles on it. Here's a couple glamor shots.

All in it was a very slow 10 year project that I am finally able to enjoy.
