Re: Guage install
 

how much did you pay for all the guages?

Re: Guage install
 

Very nicely done!!

Re: Guage install
 

The gauges alone cost $580.40 plus I had to buy the speedometer sender unit for the electric speedo for $69.95 total $650.35 Through Summit Racing. Kinda high but I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

Re: Guage install
 

Not this weekend. I have a bunch of stuff going on but I have been watching that thread and will be in the near future.

Re: Guage install
 

Those look real nice. Personally, I'd have used the Ultra lites, because they'd match the silver.

My question is about the brackets used to hold the gauges in. How did you attach the brackets to the bezel?

Re: Guage install
 

That looks great! I like the look of the ProComp gauges. They resemble the factory look somewhat. Great job.

Re: Guage install
 

Looks awesome man! I like the black gauge contrast with the bezel. I'm looking at doing the same, but mounting mine behind the bezel. Make sure and post pics of it in the truck! :metal:

Re: Guage install
 

very nice! they look great man... cant wait to see them in the truck!!

1 question... do the gauges come with their own sending unit or sensors? i.e. coolant sensor, etc..

Re: Guage install

Re: Guage install
 

The gauges come with brackets. I just cut enough off the dash panel and slipped the gauges through and put the clamps on the back If you look at the last two pics you will see the aluminum nuts and the black plastic running around the white part of the gauge it just grips the gauge bezel and seems to be holding nice and tight.

Re: Guage install
 

Yes they do. The coolant temp comes with a couple fittings and a small sender that threads into it. The oil gauge comes with its own sender as well. The fuel should work with the stock tank sender.

Re: Guage install
 

They look great. I'm also planning to do the same with my 85 GMC. Looking forward to seeing them installed. :metal:
