Time for new gauges! Before new engine.
 

I have a '85 Silverado with the factory gauges,and want to upgrade to a newer style gauges that will fit in the original holes in the dash. Would like something with easy hook up and be accurate.
Any recommandations?

Thanks Coater

Anyone?

Re: Time for new gauges! Before new engine.
 

I have been contemplating an Auto Mete gauge set up from Summit. Looking @ 2 5/8" gauges for the fuel, oil pressure, volt/ammeter, water and 5" gauges for the Speedo and the tach. Should run about $ 300-400 dollars depending on the model. They sell the 2 5/8" set up (3 gauges) for about $ 45.00. That tach and the speedo is where all of the money goes

Do those set on top of the gauge panel or recess in like the stock ones?

You can do them either way.

Thank You so much!

heres mine and i think this is what your looking for. i went with all auto-meter pro-comps the oil and water are liquid filled and i ended up changeing the speedo to a electronic because you can program it to any tire size and if you change tire size you just reprogram it.

Usually I don't like the gauges mounted on the front side of the bezel, but your setup looks really good with the wood grain. Nice job!

I agree! It looks nice with the wood grain.I also have the factory clock in my dash. Do they make a clock also?

auto-meter does just, not in that series. i think sport-comp series does offer one.
