[@drubradley8821]

I had a 1980 Luv in 1997 that my father purchased new and gave to me. I drove that incognito Isuzu 4 cyl with manual transmission with a combined mileage of 218k miles. And it would have went much longer but the K-member front cradle was so rusted away, that it was not safe and trying to locate a new one or a solid used one, just not gonna happen... So, I rebuilt the whole front and rear suspension to roll on solid axles from a older Jeep and chopper the front axle up to move the pig to the other side and custom axle shafts for proper length... With 33" tires. Ground up rebuild over a year, and had to sell it, due to a price I couldn't refuse.. about once a year or three, I still see that dinky truck at car shows and it is still winning trophies to this day.. I do miss that tonka toy... So much fun to drive and was comfortable to drive for me, due to me being a short guy, but the bench seat allowed perfect comfort for peddle reach for my dinky legs..

[@austinwilburn1772]

Totally unrelated but ever since I saw a specific kit designed for taking very old cars and giving them all modern day equipment is such a surreal feeling. Getting into a car from the 1930s and it looking like a Tesla on the inside is crazy.

[@katykab00m]

Omg this is so rad! I’ve been wanting to upgrade the instrument cluster in my 81 Monte Carlo but I don’t have an OBD two port, and everything seems to plug and play into that. This is a cool workaround. Thank you.

How ingenious can you be, that's so cool,all you have to do is take the tablet out and nobody else can drive your truck. Sweet

I had a 1976 chevy luv. I loved that truck. It might not have been the fastest or could haul alot, but I had alot fun in that damn ole truck.

[@jeffclark5024]

Thought about doing the tablet thing. Definitely cheaper but in the grand scheme of things 700 bucks for the 7” Holley digital dash wasn’t all that bad. I definitely wouldn’t trust that suction mount. That sucker is gonna end up in your lap

[@JohnSmith-fj1rg]

This man just made him a Tesla chevy in less than ten seconds

[@5150streetsoklahoma]

That's awesome I didn't know you could do that with holley. Until I can afford holley I'm going to buy the 20 dollar obd2 dongle with a tablet until then. But I also had no idea they made a suction cup holder that would hold tablets either! Awesome info!

Go by your local truck stop in the c-store trucker accessories area, you'll find several there as a rule.

I haven't messed around with that program or even that table but there should be a way to make it auto start that app once it recognizes the vehicle starts, you can also adjust a setting in most tables to make them wake up when get power, it will have loading screen but other than that it will boot automatically when you start your car
